Story
Welcome and thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.
The Challenge
I've signed up to trek to Everest base camp! Why? In order to help some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world gain access to clean drinking water.
The Cause
Over 3 million children die each year due to the lack of clean water and adequate sanitation. For those people living without sanitation and water, sustaining development in health, education and livelihoods is near impossible. They are locked into a cycle of poverty and disease. Through your support and donations we can help alleviate their suffering and end this entirely preventable crisis.
The Trek
For my part, I will be trekking for 10 days, for an average of 7 hours each day on as little as 40% of the normal levels of oxygen. Starting at Lukla (2,840m) and finishing above the Khumbu Glacier at Everest Base Camp (5,200m).
Your Support
I need your support and donations. All the funds you help me to raise will go directly to providing clean drinking water for people throughout Africa and Asia regardless of their race, religion or gender. So please help and donate generously.
If you can help, please donate through this site. It is simple, fast and totally secure and the most efficient way to sponsor me. Islamic Relief, the registered charity, will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax can be added to your gift at no cost to you. To help make all of your donation go further, I will be covering all of the expenses for the trek.
So please sponsor me now! And a very big thank you for your support.
