Story

In September i am attempting to cycle the Tibetan Plateaus with 22 colleagues from Shigatse to Kathmandu via Everest base camp. This amazing adventure will take me over 4 major passes over 5000m, including the Gyatso La pass, which at over 17,000ft is the highest road pass on the planet and traverse a distance of 500km over the Himalayas.

 

I will experience altitude at 5253m, with temperatures between +15 to -20 celsius, cycle under the north face of Everest and up to base camp which will be a truly unforgettable experience and finally the world's longest downhill ride as I descend from the Tibetan plateau into the Nepalese jungle.

 

This is a rare opportunity to discover the support, encouragement and willpower of a team determined to achieve this charity adventure and raise lots of money for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.

 

I hope my energy and positive attitude will inspire and help the team keep in high spirits as we cycle more than 500km with some of the best views in the world.
