Why Everesting | Everesting For Second Chances

In this third edition, HCSA invites cycling groups, enthusiasts and athletes to take on the same extraordinary challenge - climbing the elevation of Mount Everest (8848m) on two wheels. Whether indoors or outdoors, this feat of endurance symbolises the uphill journey of reintegration for ex-offenders.

All participants must track their elevation gain using STRAVA (a GPS-enabled fitness app) as proof of completion. The challenge can be completed anytime, anywhere during the 2-month challenge period.

The reason behind Everesting

The relentless climb to conquer Mount Everest mirrors the difficult path of ex-offenders striving to rebuild their lives. Their reintegration is not just about overcoming personal obstacles but also about gaining acceptance and support from society.

At HCSA Highpoint, a halfway house, ex-offenders begin their recovery and take the first steps toward a new life—starting at the base of their Mount Everest. Through HCSA Academy, they receive upskilling and vocational training in the F&B sector, empowering them to scale the mountain of reintegration.

However, their journey to the summit is not one they can do so on their own. With the support of families, friends, and the wider community, they can better overcome challenges and reach greater heights.

Join us in this inspiring challenge—because every ride is a support toward believing in second chances.
