Rucksack fundraiser!
We will be running a fundraiser to raise money, in supplement to SU funding, to purchase the proper safety equipment for outdoor sport(roped) climbing where we will be collecting donations and then climb/hike the height of Mt. Everest on March 20th. Everyone is invited to help climb or walk to help reach our goal. 30% of our donations will be given to Tayside Mountain Rescue as well. Until then please share this donation link with parents and friends in case they have a few quid to spare! On top of that all, if we reach our goal of £1000, Finnan O’Malley, pledge to shave off all of his hair as an incentive for y’all to spread the word and ask for donations. So, please, share this link anywhere and everywhere:
