The idea is to do an Everesting (plus any other extra elevation gain) during December 2023 and donate (myself) 10 CHF/EUR per 1000m of elevation gain to Caritas, helping to fight against poverty.

The concept of Everesting is simple: Pick any hill, anywhere in the world and complete repeats of it in a single activity until you climb 8,848m – the equivalent height of Mt Everest.

According to recent data, 1.1 billion (out of 6.1 billion people - just over 18%) live in acute poverty across 110 countries. More info here https://hdr.undp.org/content/2023-global-multidimensional-poverty-index-mpi#/indicies/MPI

Caritas prevents, alleviates and fights against poverty in Switzerland and worldwide in around 20 countries. https://www.caritas.ch/en/about-us/

If you identify yourself with this cause and want to contribute, any donations, no matter the value, are very much welcome.

Thank you so much.
