Dear Friends and Family,

I wanted to share with you my upcoming adventure, which I consider to be my MISOGI - a challenge that will push me to my limits and force me to confront my fears, doubts, and weaknesses - for the year.

In June 2023, I will be taking on a triple challenge expedition in Switzerland alongside an all-women team. Our goal is to raise awareness for Climate Action for Refugees, by undertaking three challenging tasks: summiting an alpine peak at close to 3,000m in the Furka Pass, biking 100km across mountainous areas, and crossing an icy lake on SUP boards.

The objective of this expedition is to bring attention and funds to the Rohingya refugee emergency, one of the most under-funded humanitarian crises in the world.

I am self-funding this trip and our team aims to raise a total of $50,000 USD. 100% of the donations will be given to support a UNHCR Environmental program in Bangladesh. This program focuses on activities such as reforestation, human-elephant contact management, and youth-led climate action training.

I would be grateful for any support you can offer, whether it be in the form of moral support or financial assistance. Thank you in advance for your support as I take on this exciting challenge.

Warmly,

Julia
