This year Fibre Technologies will be sponsoring a Mount Everest climb with our good friend James Ketchell. You may remember earlier this year James rowed the Atlantic solo and raised £9,000 for the NSPCC, taking 110 days.
Next year "April 2011" James is attempting to climb to the summit of the world's tallest mountain, following in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay, who became the first people to summit Mount Everest on May 29th 1953.
James's chosen charity is "The Elifar Foundation" http://www.elifarfoundation.org.uk/

The name ELIFAR stands for
Every Life Is For A Reason, a philosophy which serves to remind us all that
everyone deserves to enjoy the minimum standards of comfort and happiness in
life, though for those with severe disability these are often not easily achieved.
The financial, physical and emotional cost to them
and their families is enormous and any help we can give will often be life
changing, and always gratefully received.
Further information donations and sponsorship opportunities can be found at http://www.jamesketchell.net/
If James reaches the summit, he will be the first person to have rowed the Atlantic Solo and to have summited Mount Everest, the question is, what will be next?
Fibre Technologies are extremely happy to be supporting James and the Elifar Foundation, as sometimes we forget how lucky we really are.
