On October 15th, myself and 3 of my friends are trekking from Katmandu to Mount Everest Base Camp & back again. Base camp is 5,000 metres above see level roughly the same height as mount Kilimanjaro. 

In 2011, I was diagnosed with bone impingement issues in both of my hips and had to have intervention surgery in both of them to prevent further bone and cartilage damage. 

I still suffer with hip pain and have had to adapt all of my exercise around my conditions and there is many activities and sports i can no longer do a s result. 

I want to raise £1000 or more for Arthritis Research to help make sure other young adults can get the care they need to keep them active and well into later life and to support to all new research for new interventions to improve bone conditions, surgery and to keep people  active for as long as possible. 

Its going to be a testing journey for me and I'm sure Ill be one of only  a very few people to take on this feat through the Himalayas after having both my hips surgically reshaped and battling ongoing pain and limitations. 

Its a cause close to my heart and I appreciate anything you can donate. 

Thanks 

Tim :-))
