For those unfamiliar with the concept, that means he’ll be climbing the equivalent height of Mount Everest (8,848m) in a single ride – and he's not just doing it for the physical challenge, he's fundraising for Falkirk RFC and Glasgow Hospital Children’s Charity, two organisations close to his heart.

Your support for Kristian and either (or both) organisations will make a real difference.

You can choose which organisation you wish your donation to go to at Kristian's Just Giving page.

You'll be able to watch Kristian climbing is personal Everest live on his youtube channel and you can get others involved by sharing his Facebook event page.

And if the fundraising between the two charities is close (within £50), he’ll push on after the Everesting to hit the **10,000-metre club** challenge!

Wow. Thanks Kristian. There will be a cushion waiting for you at the Club!
