Addiction affects more than the person addicted.
Addiction has shaped our lives from both sides. We’ve lost people to alcoholism, we’re watching people we love continue to suffer, and we’ve faced our own struggles with addiction. We may still be young, but we’ve already seen how far the damage can reach.
"the addiction project" is our way of doing something about it.
A Charity centred around substance abuse, grief and mental health.
CHALLENGE → COMMUNITY → SUPPORT
Challenge gains presence
Community starts conversations
Support is the reason for all of it
CHALLENGE
Get people’s attention
We’ve always loved a challenge. Pushing ourselves. Testing our limits.
Now we’re using that drive to show what we are physically capable of.
COMMUNITY
Get people talking
To get talking about addiction, grief, mental health and what it’s like for the families living around it.
To build a community, where people can take part in challenges.
SUPPORT
Get people help
To build a support network for people struggling and those effected.
Long term, "the addiction project" wants to build real support services, a 24/7 helpline and places people can physically walk into and ask for help.

2027 Record Attempt
SUMMIT EVERY HIGH POINT
IN GEOGRAPHICAL EUROPE
IN ONE ATTEMPT
CURRENT PUBLISHED RECORD
173 DAYS
20 HOURS
45 MINUTES
OUR TARGET
UNDER 160 DAYS
In April 2027, we’re planning to attempt the world record for climbing the highest points of the countries of geographical Europe. One continuous attempt across Europe. We’ll climb it, drive it, live out of a van, film it and see how far we can push ourselves.
GET INVOLVED
The Addiction Project is for the people
We’re working towards public fundraising events ranging from serious endurance challenges to events that almost anyone can take part in.
THE BEGINNING
Where it starts
Before Europe, there’s a lot of work to do:
Training
Logistics
Sponsorship
And figuring out how to document all of this properly.
The Welsh 3000s is the first challenge we’ve filmed. It’s not supposed to be polished. It’s where we start.
Follow along to see where our project takes us.
sponsorship
We can’t fund 2027 ourselves
The world record attempt is going to cost serious money:
Vehicles
Fuel
Guides
Flights
Ferries
Insurance
Equipment
Food
Media
We’re looking for companies and private sponsors that understand what we’re trying to build and want to help us get there.
Expedition sponsorship and money raised for the cause will be kept clearly separate.
