Rick Beaumont, Damon Hartley and Cameron Holmes recently competed in the Seaman Church Institute’s Mountain Climbing Challenge in Newry, Maine. The challenge included close to 30 miles of hiking and six miles of canoeing over a two-day period.
The Thomas Miller team came in 10th place on the first day, 11th on the second day and finished eleventh overall out of a total of 55 teams.
The team also raised $4,073 from generous donors including family, friends and of course, Thomas Miller colleagues. These funds go directly to the SCI and help benefit mariners through SCI’s important programs, including hospitality and transportation services, legal advocacy, on-board Chaplain visits, etc. A big Thank You to all those who supported!
The SCI Mountain Challenge 2017 is a biennial fundraising event providing teams of competitors with the opportunity to push their physical limits in support of mariners who face extreme conditions every day to keep our modern way of life afloat.
The 30th UK Club Korean Mountain Climb took place on Saturday 16th April, 2016 on the Yumyeong Mountain which is situated about an hour and a half outside of Seoul. The mountain was originally known as Mayusan Mountain until 1973, when the Empor Alpine reached the mountain during a hike across the nation. The Yumyeong Mountain was chosen for the 30th Anniversary as it was also the site of the first UK Club Mountain Climb in 1986.
