Everest Base Camp 2019
In September of 2019 a group of eleven explorers, including the Electrical Industries Charity’s (EIC) CEO and MD Tessa Ogle, took to the Himalayas in a bid to reach Everest Base Camp and raise as much money as they could for our sector.
Despite some initial poor weather which meant the team didn’t set off for camp until two days after their expected departure, their journey was incredible. The group became close-knit and the sense of accomplishment every member felt was undeniable. Since returning home the group have began to recover and have started to feel more human again after a physically and mentally exhausting expedition. All the participants remarked on how much tougher the trip was then they anticipated, especially when you are carrying a 15kg kit bag up to Base Camp with you. Although the trip was tough the group remarked that their Everest trip had only wettened their appetite for a challenge and some of the participants have already signed up to their next challenge for a cause event.
Most importantly, for all their efforts, the group managed to raise an astonishing £50,000 for those in our sector who need assistance most. We’d like to say a massive thank you to the whole team for their fundraising efforts.
