In April 2026 I will travel to Nepal to attempt the summit of Mount Everest. Along the way I will also climb Island Peak, and if conditions allow after Everest I hope to continue on to the summit of Lhotse, the fourth highest mountain in the world.

This expedition is a personal challenge, but it is also an opportunity to raise funds for a group of organisations that mean a great deal to me:

The Osteopathic Foundation, St. Dunstan's Education Group, Sherpa Team, Guy's and St. Thomas' Charity.

This is a very tough challenge, and at first I only set my sights on summitting Ama Dablam, Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, but after that, I knew Everest was possible with the right amount of preparation and very extensive training.

Donating through JustGiving is simple and secure. Once donations are received, I will withdraw the funds and distribute all money to the charities and organisations listed above. Every contribution, no matter the size, genuinely helps.

+++ If you or your organisation may be interested in a corporate sponsorship opportunity, please contact me directly on here or on LinkedIn under my name, Tim Allardyce. +++

The Osteopathic Foundation: I served on the board for eight years and saw first-hand the positive work they do for the osteopathic community. They fund important projects that advance the profession and provide education grants to students who are struggling with tuition fees, giving people a chance to pursue the career they are passionate about.

St Dunstan's Education Group: Both of my former schools, St Dunstan's and St Christopher's, have shaped a huge part of my life. I am grateful for the education and support I received and want to help ensure the same opportunities for current and future students.

Sherpa Team: The Sherpas are the unsung heroes of every Himalayan climb. Their skill, strength and commitment keep us safe. They fix ropes, carry loads and take on enormous risk to help climbers succeed. I will be supported by Gyalzen Sherpa, and I want to give something meaningful back to him and the wider Sherpa community, who rely heavily on tips and donations to support their families.

Guy's and St Thomas' Charity: This hospital provided life-changing care to Kay during her kidney transplant, and again supported us during the births of our children. They continue to deliver outstanding care to thousands of families. I am raising funds in recognition and gratitude for everything they have done for us.

Thank you for your support. It means more than you know and I look forward to taking you with me on this journey.
