I am very tempted to participate in a trek to raise money for a registered charity.
It would be hugely ambitious for me as I am not currently very fit and would have to work hard to train for it.
I also find it a bit difficult to judge when I'm being rash/impulsive and whether a choice is too risky.
So I am weighing up the pros and cons and thought I would ask you lot what you thought.
Against is the fact that I'm not very fit at the moment and I'm rather old.
I have quite a lot of responsibilities, run a business, and we are planning to build a house between now and this event next year which in itself will be a big stress.
On the plus side it would be a huge goal that I would have to reach (this could also be a negative???)and would improve my mental health as well as physical.
I have never done anything like this so would be a big adventure.
On a practical level I could perhaps use my business to promote it.
I would have to raise a large sum in sponsorship to take part and I'm not sure how easy that would be.

Would I be mad to try and take part in this sponsored trek in the Himalayas?
