On Friday 17th November 2017 Nick Talbot came to talk to Dunblane Primary School P4 – P7 pupils. He has cystic fibrosis and he is the first person with cystic fibrosis that has climbed Mount Everest. He told us how it took 3 times to reach the top because of the bad weather and storms the first two times so he had to come back again and again.
Nick had to train for six months before going. When he was there he had to eat lots of chocolate so he didn’t lose too much weight. Nick brought part of harness and bottle to show us some of the equipment he needed. Nick explained how much hard work it was but it was worth it to tell people about cystic fibrosis and raising money to try to find a cure.
His twitter hash tag is @CF_vs_Everest.
