Last month, the Way Of Life Fitness (WOLF) studio team, led by Founder Steve Larsen, have been fundraising for Tom’s Trust by pushing 100kg of sled weight the collective distance of the 10 highest peaks on earth – a total of 83’782 meters. A steep challenge!
In doing so they honour Tom’s Trust’s children and families who must scale their own monumental psychological mountains after receiving the life-changing and traumatic diagnosis of a brain tumour.
WOLF studio Founder, Steve Larsen, said: “We wanted to support Tom’s Trust because it felt like something that was closer to home for us than the usual big charities. We have members personally affected by childhood brain tumours, so it was a perfect fit. We had 100 WOLF pack members get involved. This challenge allowed us to engage absolutely everyone in our team no matter how long they’d been training with us or how fit they were.
“The challenge was a real test of endurance but also of patience. There was no way we could get all that work done quickly so we just had to focus on doing a little bit every day. This could easily get boring but remembering what a good cause we were doing this for helped us to push through.”
The team has raised over £1300 so far, you can support them further here:
