<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">The climb will take 7 days to the 5,895 metre summit. Summit day is the most demanding portion of the climb, typically involving 8 hours for the ascent and 6-7 hours for the descent. The altitude and low temperature make this a difficult and dangerous trek. Acclimatisation is essential,most people suffer some degree of altitude sickness. All climbers suffer considerable discomfort, typically shortage of breath, hypothermia and headaches. About 10 climbers die from complications of some sort or another each year. Brain injury is one of a multitude of risks they will face, as the summit is well above the altitude at which high altitude cerebral odema (HACE) can occur. </span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">In 1997, a collection of people directly affected by acquired brain injury (ABI) and professionals working in neurological rehabilitation, identified an absence of long-term support for people with ABI in Hackney and the surrounding area. In an attempt to provide support to those in the local community, Headway East London was born.</span></p>
