Amit has decided since his return from the 2010 challenge that he wont be defeated and is planning to reattempt to summit the South Face of Everest in aid of Cancer Research UK, he plans to do this in March 2012 and would hope you could continue to support this worthy challange.

He is funding the trip 100% himself from his own pocket, therefore every penny you give will go to directly to Cancer Research UK. Amit has set himself a target of £100,000 to be raised for Cancer Research UK and I urge you to give generously to this worthy cause. Completion of gift aid certificate will allow us claim tax back so the charity benefits greater.

Thanks to the help of his brother and global foods, Amit is taking his training to a whole new level by training in industrial freezers at a cold temperature of MINUS 28 degrees celcius!!

He will also be arranging a live webcast so you can follow his journey, and will give more information once this has been arranged and nearer the date.

Amit would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone for their support, which is greatly appreciated and means alot to him.

You can now donate by text- text the code "AABI69" (that is a capital i and not a number 1) £? with code to 70070

Thankyou again for your generous support!!
