Hi all, thanks for all your generous donations so far. As some of you already know, I've been in Nepal for a few weeks now, traning intensively while working with RCDP Nepal in an orphanage in the village of Rampur. I am finally due to begin trekking to Everest Base Camp this Saturday (5th June).

 

Thanks again for all of your support, shall try to keep you all updated whenever I can get hold of an internet signal.

 

Next stop Everest Base Camp!

Hi!

After months of preparation, this May I shall be heading off to the Himalayas to trek up to Mount Everest Base Camp. The arduous 14 day trek to Base Camp (5,360m) is to raise money to buy a new Neonatal Incubator for Royal Brompton Hospital. These incubators are used for very small newborn babies who require specialist cardiac intervention and or surgery immediately after birth.

This piece of specialist equipment will help between 150-200 newborn babies with critical cardiac conditions annually, by providing better access and care for newborn babies in an emergency situation.

For more information on the neonatal incubator, here's a web link:

Please help me to raise money for a great cause, anything you can spare will go a long way to helping care for babies born with heart complications.

Thank You
