Rhys Morton is going to be attempting to summit Mount Everest without using supplemental oxygen and help raise much needed money for Woking & Sam Beare Weybridge Hospices.

Rhys will be undergoing physical and mountaineering training in preperations for his trip to Nepal then onto Tibet to attempt the North side of the mountain. Its is his aim to raise as much money as possible for the charity who have recently launched an Emergency Appeal to re-open thier day care services which have been temporarily suspended.

Both Woking and Sam Beare Weybridge Hospices have a total running cost of £4.6m per annum which they have to raise in order to continue providing the essential services in the West Surrey area.

Rhys along with Woking & Sam Beare Weybridge Hospices have also been approved to attempt a new world record by Guinness World Records® to raise the largest amount of money for a charitable cause in coins.

The New World Record Attempt is called "The Everest £1 COINTUBE Mountain World Record Attempt" where we hope to raise over £200,000 in £1 coins.
