This November, I am taking on a major personal and physical milestone: trekking up to the Annapurna Base Camp in the Himalaya, reaching an altitude of 4,130 meters. Along the way, I will be tackling the notorious and grueling Ulleri staircase, which consists of over 6,000 continuous stone steps.

To channel this intense challenge into something meaningful, I am raising funds for The Rak's Trust. The charity is currently partnering with Q Learning to build a dedicated school tech lab in Nepal. This facility will empower children and young adults to gain critical skills in computer science, paving the way for a new digital and technical future in the region.

The Rak's Trust has a proven track record of changing lives, including:

• Rebuilding 6 classrooms in Chitwan, Nepal

• Sent a fully equipped off-road mobile clinic ambulance providing healthcare access in remote areas of Africa

• Continually support the Air Ambulance Service (Derbyshire, Rutland and Leicestershire branch)

Every donation makes a tangible difference to these students and their communities.

Thank you for your support and your generosity!
