A group of determined Singaporeans with special needs reached the summit of Mt Fuji, Japan's tallest mountain.
The 10 climbers who have conditions like Down syndrome, global developmental delay, or autism are all in their 20s and 30s. They were accompanied by coaches, caregivers, and volunteers.
Gareth, who works as a warehouse assistant, successfully reached the mountain’s summit with his father. Gareth also participated in the YMCA Inclusive Challenge 2021, a virtual event held during the pandemic. However, he found the real Mount Fuji climb to be a much more thrilling and rewarding experience.
