I decided to choose Sr Edmund Hillary as my Social Hero. Sir Edmund Hillary was the first man to successfully summit Mt Everest on May 29th of 1953. The Hillary's have been helping in building schools and medical clinics in Nepal, as it is a very remote part of the world this has been no easy feat.
The initial reason I chose Sir Edmund is due to his climbing achievements in the Himalaya's, I have always loved reading climbing articles and Sir Edmund has featured in many of my favourite reads, so it seemed logical to follow someone who is an inspiration towards my dream and has been important in helping the people of Nepal.
