I'm raising £10000 to support an expedition to Lobuche East in 2025

Story

The Challenge: In March 2024, without any experience of the mountains, I travelled to the Himalaya and trekked to Annapurna Basecamp which stands at 4130m. Having sparked a love for Nepal and its mountains, in April this year I am heading back to Nepal to trek to Everest Basecamp, train with a record-breaking mountaineering team and subsequently climb Lobuche East peak, which stands at 6119m. 🏔️🥾

The Background: In 2019, I underwent surgery and 5 weeks chemo-radiotherapy following a cancer diagnosis. Five years post-treatment, after regular check ups by an amazing medical team at Cheltenham Hospital, I was given the all clear last February! 🥳 💪🙂

Update: On 25th April, having started the summit push at 2am, we reached the top of Lobuche East peak! The climb was hugely challenging, but incredibly rewarding and made possible by the very professional guides who made the whole trip safe and ebjoyable.

This expedition aims to raise valuable funds for Cancer Research.
