Kids Climb Everest for Teacher

from Edinburgh News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Thirty-eight kids from Berwick Law Primary School scaled their school’s 150-meter landmark fifty-nine times—equivalent to climbing Mount Everest—to raise funds for their beloved teacher, James McPherson, diagnosed with aggressive stage four brain cancer. Inspired by 10-year-old Jack Barnett, the students’ heartfelt campaign has raised over £55,000, helping cover life-saving immunotherapy in London. Mr. McPherson, who joined them on climbs and was deeply moved by their dedication, has been a transformative force in their lives. The community’s outpouring of love not only eases his family’s financial burden but also offers hope beyond the grim NHS prognosis, proving that one teacher’s impact can ignite a mountain of support.
