7 Summits

What is the 7 Summits Bermuda Challenge?

Only 300 people have managed to climb the seven summits-the highest peak on all seven continents. John Layfield will be attempting to plant a Bermuda flag on the top of the highest peak of every continent in an effort to raise money for kids in Bermuda through the Family Centre. This will take place over a 2 year period.

John is covering all expenses for the climb. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Family Centre. All donations will get a personal thanks from John.  If you would like to make a donation to help support kids in Bermuda please click here.


John's Story

Every kid has a mountain, we encourage them to climb them-step by step. We work with Bermuda's kids on a daily basis helping them realize their dreams and potential. We do our best to lead by example-I'm a 45 year old man who has had a broken back, two herniated discs and nine major surgeries but I am no different from anyone else-we all have our own problems physical or otherwise. Everybody has got rent to pay and everyone has problems, it's what you do with adversity that makes you successful. This is the message we tell kids and the message we live, and the message I want to instill in every young person we work with. This, to me, is the message of the Seven Summits Bermuda Challenge. - John Layfield-former pro football player and longest reigning WWE Champion in Smackdown TV history and currently runs Beyond Rugby Bermuda with the Family Center.  If you would like to make a donation to help support kids in Bermuda please click here.
