Climbing Everest for Charity

My brother in-law is climbing Mount Everest in aid of Comic Relief in a bid to put the first Red Nose on the summit. His aim is to get 1 million people to donate a £1 each to raise 1 million pounds for Comic Relief - His campaign website is everestmillion.com .

He's been out in Nepal for around 7 weeks now (in addition to the 2 1/2 years preparation!) and leaves from Everest Base Camp this evening to make the journey to the summit.

You can see videos/pictures of his journey so far and there will be media updates along the final climb including several live broadcasts into the BBC News channel along with updates & videos onto his website/livestream/twitter. I know the media side sounds fairly run of the mill, but there are no internet cafes or free wifi out there! All the content is being beamed by satellite (He's carrying around an extra 10kg in comms gear over other climbers)

Please help him out by following his journey and donating a cheeky pound to Comic Relief (Text "Nose70 £1" to 70070 to text donate or everestmillion.com)

/Shameless plugging!
