My story

 

Challenge Everest 2008 is Lee Farmer's attempt to summit Mount Everest via the North/North East Ridge. 

It is a 70 day expedition, starting in March 2008 and ending in June 2008.

Accompanied by his wife Nicola Farmer, for the first three weeks of the expedition, this will be spent trekking to the south side of the mountain to the southern Everest Base Camp achieving a height of approximately 5,500 metres.  This will aid in acclimatisation and fitness, for the summit attempt proper, which is being tackled by Lee from the north side of the mountain.  

At the Northern Base Camp the Olypmic torch of the Beijing Olympics 2008  is being carried through the camp to the summit of Everest.   

At 8,850 metres or 29,038 feet Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. 

 Lee will enter the death zone at approximately 8,000 metres where the amount of oxygen present cannot sustain human life. Lee will be using supplemental oxygen.

'Please dig deep and sponsor me online and follow my Everest Challenge via my web site www.leefarmer.co.uk or through www.Everestnews.com (look for Lee under the Altitude Junkies Team)'.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Society for Epilepsy will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now and let's raise the height of Everest in donations for this worthy cause.

Be safe and many thanks for your support.
