Noddy Climbs to Everest Base Camp for UTS

Nadeem ‘Noddy’ Arshad has completed the impressive feat of climbing to Everest Base Camp (over 6000 metres above sea level) to raise over £500 for our project work in South Africa.

Having spent time working with United Through Sport in South Africa in October 2009, Noddy was inspired to trek to Everest Base Camp to raise some valuable cash for the communities he worked with.

Noddy explained, “I worked with United Through Sport and its partner, the Umzingisi Foundation, to help develop and improve the lives of children from underprivileged communities in South Africa.  It was a pleasure to see how mine and other volunteers' help can go towards improving the health and well-being of these young children.  I would like to go back one day and help again but in the meantime, I will do all I can to provide further assistance to this amazing organisation.”

On behalf of all the Trustees at United Through Sport and the children we work with in South Africa, we would like to extend a big thanks – bigger than Everest even! – for Noddy’s amazing achievement and all the money he raised!
