Story

It would be great if you could sponsor me to climb to Kalla Patter, above Base Camp, Mt. Everest and to be become part of the Worlds Highest Gig.

I am personally aiming to paint some fantastic pictures which will be sold at an exhibition on my return to help raise even more money for the charity. I will also be juggling at the gig and hopefully with fire if I can get the thing lit!

As training for the main event we are going on several treks around the UK. I have personally been training up Leith Hill, Dorking. Purely for the angle up and down and not the altitude.

FOr altitude I have been training here, in Holborn, London: http://www.altitudecentre.com/

With the money raised, The Nepal Balbalika Trust will be able to build Eco-Shelters for children at risk across Nepal. Each shelter will give the children a safe environment to live. They will gain an education at a local school as well as being taught the skills needed to become self sufficient and self sustainable. Please dig deep and help this wonderful cause. Thank you in advance if you have donated. I woudl love to thank you all personally but with the amount of emails that wil come in it wil be hard. I shall let you all know how I did when I return. Thanks again, Jason
