Joyce and Cherissa’s Climbing for Sight Fundraiser 2021
How do you climb a mountain? One step at a time!
To celebrate Joyce’s birthday in March, we, Joyce and Cherissa are teaming up as a mother-and-daughter team to conquer Mount Everest virtually over the next 30 days! To do that, we will be climbing 8,558 m, that is going up a whopping 3,871 flights of stairs (58,065 steps)!
Why are we doing this? To raise much needed funds for the charity @newsightcongo and get fit at the same time! We also want this challenge to be a lifelong testimony to encourage and prove to ourselves that whatever we face in life, there’s literally “ain’t no mountain high enough” – if we will just persevere one step at a time!
What does New Sight do? New Sight helps people suffering from blindness and visual impairment in the Republic of Congo by restoring and protecting sight, through the provision of comprehensive and accessible eye care, and empower the community through education and training.
How are we going to stay motivated? That is where we need your help!
