Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am self funding my trek so all donations go direct to the charity.

I am raising money for the Thin Blue Line UK charity. They raise funds for police officer well-being and raise awareness of their duties and support for colleagues. It is a charity run by police officers for police officers. The job of a  police officer has one of the highest rates of suicide of any profession so looking after their mental health is hugely important. Police officers, like other emergency services are also under increasing pressure as the cost of living crisis and budget cuts have increased their workloads and stress levels. This has lead to a significant increase in referrals for those in crisis.

Our charity trek begins in Lukla, we will follow the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay – the first climbers to ever summit Everest. Walking in the shadow of the world’s highest mountain, we will traverse gorges, visit the Everest Memorial Ground and trek through the Khumbu ice fall until we reach Base Camp. The higher we go, the harder the trek will become, pushing us and our bodies to the limit. However, the incredible views and support from all of you will spur us on to our goal. Arriving into Everest Base Camp will be a joyous occasion and one I will saviour with my fellow trekkers.
