The challenge
Daniel Hughes from London, has devoted his last two years training for the biggest challenge of his life - the ascent of Mount Everest. With this action he wants to achieve the support of one million people giving 1 pound each for his charity campaign called EverestMillion.
3D RealityMaps accompanies Daniel Hughes live on his way to the summit of Mount Everest. Daniel Hughes sends his GPS coordinates on a daily basis, which are then shown in the 3D map.
The first red nose on the top of Mount Everest
Daniel realized that he could achieve a great deal of attention when focusing his campaign on the highest mountain on earth. He wanted to be the first person who takes a red nose from Comic Relief to Mount Everest. Comic Relief is a major charity organization based in the UK, which is fighting for a fair world without poverty.
Here you find the project website of his campaign.
Rather than expecting people to dig into their pockets, he decided to ask the supporters to donate only 1 pound, but to find a million of them.
In the past two years, Daniel has participated in a number of renowned sporting events as part of his fitness training and to increase awareness of Everest million. In preparation he has climbed three other mountains - Aconcagua, Mont Blanc Aconcagua, Mont Blanc in France and Denali in France and Denali in Alaska.
