Our friend-of-the-festival Russ is doing something amazing!
On 23 March 2024, Russ will be taking on Everest, trekking to Base Camp as part of the
Man V Mountain challenge. He'll be raising funds for Help for Heroes and IW Story Festival.
Here's what he says:
One Man - Lots of Mountains - Let The Adventure Begin.
Russ Sheath will be supporting two UK charities, the IW Story Festival and Help for Heroes, by trekking to Everest Base Camp, the first of many planned treks to support charities.
Please help him raise some much needed funds and give him lots of encouragement to trek to Everest Base Camp. Every pound will help! Thank you so much.
