Story

Hey all!

Want to share with you an adventure i'm taking on in march 2024.

This is by far the biggest challenge I have ever set myself. Nearly five years ago sadly my mum passed away following a battle with cancer. Following this and the strange times of covid, there was a period where I lost my path in life and this trip has brought 'me back to me again'.

I truly believe that things always happen for a reason and when my cousin Carl came back from his trip to basecamp this year and starting organising this one it was definitely my time to get involved! I've been so fortunate to travel in the last few years and after a short time in Nepal i'm so excited to go back, with a great group of people and take on Everest Basecamp.

I'm so grateful to have such amazing friends and family to support me in this adventure. I appreciate all of you who are hiking with me, training with me and listening to my endless plans and shopping list for Everest basecamp!

Thank you to special friends at TAD ltd for sponsoring me in my journey, making sure I have all the right gear to keep me warm, safe and prepared to take on Everest basecamp.

Velindre, the Hospital of Hope has been providing specialist treatment and supportive care to cancer patients and families for over 65 years.Money raised for Velindre Charity helps fund ground breaking research and clinical trials, cutting edge treatments, specialist nurses, support services, therapies, equipment and so much more which are above those provided by the NHS – so donations really do have a significant impact on patients and their families.

Your donation will allow Velindre to continue to provide Hope for the future.
