My story

 

Hi

In April 2009, I shall be taking part in a medical research trek to Everest Base Camp. The research, co-ordinated by Caudwell Xtreme Everest (www.xtreme-everest.co.uk) and University College London Hospital, is a further study into hypoxia (low oxygen levels) and human performance at extreme altitude. This research is aimed at improving the care of the critically ill and other patients where hypoxia is a problem (such as the very young, the elderly and patients with lung disease). There's an interesting news story on BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7811578.stm

After spending 2 nights at Base Camp at 5380m, I shall attempt to summit Island Peak at 6189m and place flags on the summit; for the charity and my main sponsors (inc my employer, Varian Medical Systems)

I have to raise at least £700 towards the research costs (as well as self funding the trek) but would love to raise much more. I've set a target of £2000 which is going to be a challenge in itself. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start donating now!

Donating through Justgiving is quick and secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Caudwell Xtreme Everest and UCLH Charities gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks for visiting, and thanks VERY MUCH for your generous donations..!

Best wishes, Jeremy
