저와 제 친구들은 2009년부터 매 2년마다 자전거 횡단을 통해 롭의 열정과 용기를 이어갈 그의 이름으로 세워진 우간다의 학교를 위한 모금을 하고 있습니다. 우간다의 나랑고 중학교에서는 현재 600명의 학생들이 어려운 환경에서도 자신의 꿈을 이루기 위해 노력하고 있습니다. 더 많은 친구들이 자신의 꿈을 쫓을 기회를 가질수 있도록 저의 기부페이지에 방문하시어 모금활동에 참여해 주시기를 부탁드립니다.  오프라인 외환은행 620-200303-154

On the afternoon of January 9th 2009, Rob Gauntlett and James Atkinson were nearing the top of the Gervastutti Couloir on the East face of Mont Blanc du Tacul. They were surrounded by a stunning vista of jagged peaks as far the eye could see. The winter Sun was bathing the panorama a deep gold, and at that moment the world must have seemed infinitely vast and glorious. Soon after, for reasons we may never know, the pair fell to their deaths.

This accident has saddened so many, but we who are left behind must draw from the shining example that these young men set. There is little time to grieve when we are challenged and inspired to achieve as much.

Rob’s dreams and his legacy will not stop here. A Trust has been set up in his memory to support initiatives that are in the spirit of Rob's beliefs and endeavours.  The Trust will focus on opportunities for young people; care and respect for the environment; and encouragement of social mobility and integration. Currently, money from the trust is being donated to the Henry Van Straubenzee Memorial Fund and is being used to build a secondary school in the town of Nalango, Uganda.

Rob believed that every person should have the opportunity to follow their dreams and achieve their 'Everest', however large or small and in whatever walk of life. This is the vision that guides us as we strive to provide a quality secondary education to Ugandan students.
