Story

On Saturday April 1st due to tragic circumstances my family lost 19 year old Alasdair. He was funny, smart and beautiful and meant great deal to anyone who knew him. He had already climbed 2 mountains with 7000 meter peaks including Aconcagua and Alpamayo starting at the age of 14 to raise awareness for male cancer as this was a cause very close to his heart. Later on this month he had planned to climb Mount Everest and he would've been the youngest British male to ever do a rapid ascent. My family and I are grateful for any donations you can give to go towards a cause that meant so much to Alasdair and to our family. Thank you.
