Tony Gaul completes charitable Med Step challenge
Eyleen Gomez 21st December 2020
Royal Gibraltar Police officer Tony Gaul climbed the Med Steps 24 times over the weekend, totalling a staggering 76kms and an ascent of 10,000m, to raise money for charity Hope for Grace and local man Wesley Warwick.
Mr Warwick, is a young GDP Officer who has recently suffered a stroke and who will now need a variety of equipment to help him reach his goal of self-sufficiency.
The Hope for Grace charity is raising funds for Grace Beverton, the three-year-old daughter of a police officer in the UK who is one of only 17 people in the world diagnosed with a rare gene mutation which caused her to have multiple life-changing seizures in the early months of her life.
Police officer sets himself gruelling Med Steps charity challenge
Police officer Tony Gaul will climb Mediterranean Steps continuously during the daylight hours this weekend.
Starting as early as the sun allows him to on Saturday December 19, Mr Gaul will make his first climb up the Med Steps, then walk down the roads to their starting point.
He will repeat that route until sundown and do it all again the next day.
“I hope to do it about ten times each day, it depends. I will not be racing up it. I will need to take my time,” he said.
The money raised will be divided equally between Wesley Warwick, a young GDP Officer who has recently suffered a stroke and who will now need a variety of equipment to help him reach his goal of self-sufficiency, and little Grace Beverton, who is the three-year-old daughter of a police officer in the UK.
