“I’ll be pushing my physical and mental limits to new heights,” says retailer.
Running a busy tack and feed store in Surrey is a far cry from trekking to Everest Base Camp. But Amy Tegg is determined to prove she can do both.
Amy, the managing director of Rokers Animal Feeds and Tack Shop near Guildford, is in training for an 11-day Himalayan adventure to raise money for the Street Child charity.
Amy’s inspiration came from running a half marathon in Sierra Leone.
“That was a monumental challenge,” she says, recalling 40-degree heat and intense humidity.”
Now Amy has Everest Base Camp in her sights. Starting in Lukla, the plan is to reach base camp on the eighth day before starting the descent.
“This will be the longest and highest-altitude challenge I have ever undertaken, pushing my physical and mental limits to new heights,” says Amy.
Street Child works in areas of conflict, disaster and poverty to ensure children are safe and in school.
