I will be attempting to summit the mountain which is 8848m high. I have been building up to this climb for over a decade and have followed a gruelling training program for the past two years to get in the best shape of my life.

It's going to be a tough challenge and I am motivated to get to the summit to raise money for WarterAid who do a lot of work in places like Nepal where there are serious issues with the water supply.

Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene should be a normal part of everyone’s daily life. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.

With clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, children are born healthier. They get the chance to go to school and grow up to become adults. Women and men get to earn a living. Whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal and it should be.

100% of the money raised is going to WaterAid.

Thank you for your support.
