Fundraising takes on new heights this weekend

Adventurous mountain climbers will take on the challenge of conquering 6 Peaks in 1 Day this Sunday, 4 May.

Reed & Co. hosted their annual 6 Peaks in 1 Day Challenge last year and were overwhelmed by the response and the generosity of the community.

In 2024, 70 adventurous mountain climbers raised an incredible $77,592 for the Loyal Foundation and Humpty Dumpty Foundation, to help purchase critical paediatric medical equipment for local and regional Queensland hospitals.

Founder and director Adrian Reed said, “The idea was born only six weeks before the event in 2023 as a challenge between a few guys in the office, it grew quickly into a much bigger idea, turning from a challenging day out to a full-blown fundraising event.“

“Honestly, I pinch myself constantly at Reed & Co., to have such a motivated inspiring team of people that are so keen to make an impact it’s a dream come true for me. I couldn’t be more proud of them and what they have been able to achieve.”

The 6 Peaks challenge is an epic challenge that is as tough as it is rewarding.

Starting at the Reed & Co. office at 4.30am, two buses kindly donated by the Good Shepherd Lutheran College, transport climbers to Wild Horse Mountain in the Beerburrum State Forest for the first climb of the day – just in time to experience a beautiful sunrise over the Glasshouse Mountains.

The journey continues with a steep climb to the peak of Mount Beerburrum, overlooking the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Mount Ngungun is the next peak to master before leaving the Glasshouse Mountains and heading north to climb Mount Ninderry. After a conquering Mount Coolum, the last challenge awaits: Mount Cooroora.

The day ends at Pomona Distilling Co. with some well-deserved celebratory drinks, honouring not only the incredible physical feat of conquering 6 Peaks but also the camaraderie and fundraising achievements of the day.

The day wouldn’t be possible without the support of sponsors and supporting partners, Satori Advisory, Judo Bank, VitHit, TH7 Noosa and Bounce Foods.

Entries for the 2025 challenge are now closed however, you can still help take fundraising to new heights by making a donation.
