<p>In September this year, I will be taking on easily the biggest challenge of my lifetime as part of a team with&nbsp;21 colleagues from Wickes, by cycling across the Tibetan Plateaus from Shigatse to Everest Base Camp, reaching <strong>altitudes of over 17,000ft </strong>along the way!!</p> <p>We will cycle over 4 passes in excess of 5000m including the Gyatso La Pass which is the <strong>highest road pass on the planet!</strong>&nbsp; Our 8 day trek on the bikes will see us <strong>cycle 500km across the Himilayas.</strong></p> <p><strong>Temperatures will range from -20 to +15</strong> throughout each day,with the Himalayas having its own climate and weather system, and living conditions will be far from pleasant, but I am positive, we as a team will concur this challenge.</p> <p><strong>The most important part of the venture is raising money for those who need it most, and working in partnership with Leukaemia &amp; Lymphoma Research; a charity&nbsp;doing&nbsp;vital and brilliant work in finding a cure for&nbsp;blood cancers.</strong></p> <p>I will do everything I can and need to do to get to Everest Base Camp to&nbsp;earn the money that&nbsp;you donate!&nbsp; Yes I will experience&nbsp;some of the most amazing views&nbsp;the world has to offer, but&nbsp;the altitude and saddle soar will push me to my limits - this is a huge challenge and one I hope you can support me and the team in raising <strong>money for those who need it most.</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you so very much!!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
