My story

Xtreme-Everest 2 – a collaboration between Duke University USA, University of Southampton and University College London.

The Final Push.We need your help.

We are now half way through the fieldwork for Xtreme-Everest 2, the largest high-altitude research study of its kind ever undertaken.  One in five of us ends up in an intensive care unit. And a major cause is a lack of oxygen when it is most needed. This unique research exploits the oxygen-thin air at high altitudes to provide critical insights into how intensive care patients might be helped in the future. It could save hundreds of thousands of lives of people with a range of diseases including cancer, diabetes, heart and lung disease, cystic fibrosis and congenital heart disease.

Thanks to thousands of donations, over £850,000 has been raised to fund this fieldwork. We now need a further £250,000 to ensure that the information gathered is scrutinized properly to save lives in the future. This money is needed to create a single ‘biobank’ database bringing together the world’s most comprehensive collection of physiological data and specimens taken from people exposed to oxygen deprivation from all our studies.

Please consider making a donation to help us create a lasting legacy from Xtreme-Everest 2. Thank you

UCLH Charity provides support for patients, staff and medical research at UCL Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The hospitals treat not only local residents, commuters and visitors to the area but also provide highly specialised services for patients referred from all over the UK and from abroad. The Trust has a reputation for innovation and providing patient focussed care, with ambitions to be a world class centre for clinical services, teaching and research. In the past the Charity has provided state of the art medical equipment for UCL Hospitals, invested in health initiatives for staff and funded academic medical research projects in conjunction with University College London. Current projects included a £3m joint venture with UCL Hospitals to develop a pioneering education centre, and the investment of £7m, from past legacies, in biomedical research. We are also developing a UCLH homeless healthcare service, responding to an ‘invisible’ patient group who often lack representation. Your gift is vital, to help us support this essential work into the future.
