Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

on April 7th 2022 I will be taking on the biggest challenge of a lifetime and travelling to Nepal to complete the Everest base camp trek, all in Aid of The Knights Foundation, a charity close to my heart that look after many families and children who are disabled, terminally ill or living in extreme poverty. All money raised will be donated to the foundation.  

As an unfit, middle-aged man, I am challenging myself to trek to Everest Base Camp to help children who face far greater challenges every day – indeed, with far higher mountains to climb than mine.

The trek will cover a distance of 130km, reaching altitudes of 5,380m and no creature comforts in sight! This will be both a physical and mental challenge. This will not be easy for me. Those of you who know me, will understand the magnitude of the undertaking, when I tell you that I am now going to the gym as often as possible, to give myself a fighting chance of completing it.

Taking on this challenge has been a goal of mine for some time and I feel very lucky to be in a position to take this on. I will be completing the trek with a great group of people who also share the same passion into the foundation that I do. I will be spurred on my way by the knowledge of whom I am raising the money for, so any funds that you can spare will make my task all the more meaningful and productive – and those children’s lives all the more enjoyable and bearable.

The Knights Foundation has recently opened up a lodge in Shorefield, that has been fully adaptable for many disabilities, so by completing this challenge it will also enable families to have some much needed respite to stay in the lodge free of charge. The money I raise will enable families the chance to build and create memories that they will treasure forever. 

I promise to keep you all updated of my progress !
