Finally after 2yrs of delays due to Covid, this year will be going ahead. To date I have raised £7,558.75……on a previous site now closed. To those who have already sponsored I’m forever grateful, and looking to raise more money for Abbie’s Sparkle foundation. 

I would like to highlight that my trek to Everest Base Camp is entirely self funded and all donations raised are for a charity called Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation which will support children affected by cancer across the UK.

On the 5th April 2022 I will leave the UK from London and arrive into Kathmandu Nepal, followed by a short Flight to Lukla. The following day I will start a 16day trek to Everest Base Camp, at an altitude of 5,364 metres (17,598 ft) and back to Lukla. The trek will include spending 2 nights at Everest Base Camp (sleeping altitude 5,400m) before returning to the UK.

Abbie’s Story

Abbie's smile, sparkle and infectious enthusiasm lit up the room and that's exactly how Abbie wants people to remember and celebrate her life. Abbie (15) passed away on Christmas Day, 2017, after living with a rare form of Sarcoma for four years and four months.

Christmas was Abbie's favourite day, she loved it, we believe that Abbie held on and chose the sparkliest day of the year to go. It was the sense of humour and laugh-out-loud mentality which set Abbie apart and meant she lived every moment to the full.
Abbie was a vivacious and talented cheerleader who was hailed by medics as "incredible and a truly inspirational young women". One of Abbie's wishes is to raise money for "Hospitals and stuZ" under the charity name Abbie's Sparkle Foundation.

Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation
We are a Scottish Children's Charity (SC048189) regulated by OSCR, supporting children with cancer across the UK. We know how important it is to live every moment to the full, and Abbie's Sparkle Foundation is here to spread Abbie's Sparkle. #sparkle
