Story
In June 2023, 3 friends and I are attempting to break the world altitude record paragliding over the summit of K2 at 8611m.
I am hugely grateful to Virgin who have provided me with a larger Branded wing especially for the trip that will make it easier in the thin air.
Last summer Pakistan was devastated by flooding that affected 33m people. We are using the expedition as a way of raising awareness of the ongoing challenges and I've personally donated £1000 to the appeal.
Red Cross info about the floods
Record-breaking floods have hit Pakistan, affecting over 33 million people. Many have left their homes with little or no belongings, desperately seeking safety on higher ground. Families have lost their homes, livelihoods, and in some cases loved ones.More than 1,150 people have been killed and at least 360 of these were children. The humanitarian situation is dire, and could get even worse as flood waters move to more low-lying areas. This could result in more people being forced out of their homes, more damage, and more pressure on the areas where people are seeking safety.
