If you’ve ever scaled the steps opposite Leigh-on-sea train station then you know exactly how fit you’d need to be to do several laps three times a week! However, Lee Clark is no stranger to those steps, or the ones by the cliff lift in Southend. For the last few months he’s been climbing them over and over again in training for a monumental fundraising challenge.
Lee is no stranger to fundraising and has become a local star carrying out his infamous sponsored silence for three months each year at Tesco in Southchurch. Luckily, he was much more talkative today when we climbed Leigh Steps together while we talked all about his latest fundraiser.
Hear the full interview below.
Local fundraising hero training on Leigh steps prepares to climb Mount Kilimanjaro! – Southend City Radio
We spoke about why he has such a passion for fundraising, how he plans to raise over a million pounds in his lifetime and a little more detail on his latest challenge to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in 10 days from 14th September to 24th September. We talked about some of his other charity work too from football to abseiling plus… how he will have to battle through his own fear of heights in this challenge!
Lee is aiming to raise £20,000 for Against Breast Cancer and has already achieved over £16,000 – an outstanding achievement from a true local hero!
