The hospice has been raising money and awareness through its Around the World Challenge where schools and youth organisations were invited to cover a number of miles (by a sponsored one or two mile walk or run) to try and collectively travel the circumference of the world – a whopping 24,900 miles.

Over 80 schools across West Yorkshire have already taken part in the challenge and now Forget Me Not is teaming-up with ROKT Climbing Centre and its colossal wall, ROKTFACE, to add to the tally.

Those with a head for heights are now being invited to go up – rather than around – to add to the total, in a fun and unique way on Saturday August 26 between 12pm and 6pm.

Participants must register with ROKT Climbing Centre in advance before they can take part. It costs £25 to register, with a suggested minimum sponsorship of £50.

Euan Noble, owner of ROKT, said: “It’s no mean feat making it to the top, so we hope anyone who signs up is backed by people sponsoring them who recognise what an achievement it is.”
