"I am sixty three years old and have been patient with diabetes for the past twelve years, I have not let it get in the way of doing things I want do and it certainly is not preventing me from taking part in this amazing challenge. In October 2005 I successfully completed the trek to Everest Base Camp together with 26 others, seven of us were patients with diabetes."
