GalaBingo has added a new fundraising game to their bingo website in the hopes of raising funds for their team that will be climbing a mountain for charity. The team has twenty four members and they will be climbing seventy five miles, ascending 2,700 meters to the Everest Base Camp. This will be done in an effort to raise money for the Sue Ryder Care charity.

The team is hoping to raise at least £100,000 as they begin their journey on October 16th. The team plans to finish their journey on November 3rd when they reach the base camp. The team has the chance of suffering from deep vein thrombosis, dehydration and mountain altitude sickness during their journey.

So for the next eight weeks, GalaBingo will be hosting the special fundraiser bingo game. Ten percent of sales from the bingo game will go toward the fundraising total. The games will take place every Thursday at seven twenty five.

Paul Woodward the Chief executive for Sue Ryder Care commented: “We’re delighted that a group of employees have volunteered to trek to Everest Base Camp to help raise vital funds for Sue Ryder Care. We hope as many people as possible support their fundraising effort through the dedicated bingo game. By supporting Sue Ryder Care, people across the country help make a real difference to the lives of thousands of people we care for each year.”
