This December I will be taking on the biggest challenge of my life. I will be trekking up to Everest Base Camp, the highest mountain in the world! This 17-day trek will most likely, without a doubt, be the hardest thing I'll ever do in my lifetime. I will be trekking through extreme conditions where the temperature will be below minus. 

I decided to join Penny Appeal and take on the Everest Base Camp challenge to help raise money towards a great cause. The money raised from this will go towards aiding the Rohingya refugees who have been forced to flee their homes in Burma across the border into Bangladesh. 

The camps in Bangladesh don't have sufficient resources to aid the refugees and there are over 500,000 refugees who are in desperate need of food, water, shelter and medical care but with your generous donations we could help change that. Even if its just a small donation it makes a big difference! So please donate.

Thank You,

Maryam.
