Skiing / Climbing

Europe has some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world, and either skiing or climbing are the two best ways to enjoy the incredible views they have to offer, as well as offering a huge challenge. Why not take on one of the peaks whilst raising money to help improve the lives of millions of people with hearing problems?

All you have to do is pay a registration fee and raise a minimum sponsorship.  You will get transport, accommodation, food, any training you might need and of course and lots of fundraising ideas.

Deafness Research UK works with companies that organise lots of different challenges.  Below are the events currently available. 

Open Reach for the Peaks Ski & Snowboard Challenge

You will cover 130km of top-class piste in the heart of Austria, covering 24 peaks in 48 hours – the equivalent of skiing down Everest twice!
