Aamira takes on Ben Nevis climb for charity

Aamira Hajee, Deputy Head Girl at The Olive School, Bolton, spent her summer holiday raising more than £4,500 for charity. The 10-year-old’s fundraising culminated in her climbing Ben Nevis – the UK’s highest mountain – with her aunt and uncle.

The Year 6 pupil undertook the tremendous challenge to climb the 1,345 metre Scottish mountain to support the Penny Appeal charity. Aamira underwent a rigorous training schedule during the summer holidays to prepare her for the trek, which included climbing the Three Peaks in Yorkshire – Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent.

Sabina Saeed, Principal, said:

“We’re incredibly proud Aamira’s exemplary fundraising and for successfully conquering Ben Nevis. Aamira’s passion for helping those less fortunate shines through and she clearly understands the importance of being charitable. I know that this was not an easy challenge, but I am in no doubt that her efforts are greatly appreciated by all those who she’s helped. Aamira is an inspiration to fellow pupils.”
