In February 2024, Adam is embarking along with four teammates on an extraordinary journey in the Swiss Alps, taking on a challenge that's as daunting as it is inspiring. Over four intense days, they will ascend a staggering 8,848 meters on skis (the height of Mount Everest), facing conditions akin to tackling three consecutive marathons. This incredible feat is known as the Everest in the Alps challenge.

However, this mission transcends conquering a mountain; it's about defeating a formidable adversary - pediatric brain cancer. Adam and his team have embraced this gruelling challenge with a profound purpose - one that resonates deeply with one of the team members’ family.

In October 2021, their son, Alex, received a life-shattering diagnosis after a year of enduring relentless migraines, vomiting, papilledema, seizures, and ultimately the loss of sight in his right eye. It wasn't until a fateful spinal biopsy in September 2021 that the unimaginable truth emerged – DLGNT, an uncommon and devasting form of brain cancer.

All proceeds will go to the Everest Centre for Research which is a collaboration across DKFZ in Heidelberg , Germany, University Collage London and Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York. Research is conducted into developing new treatments and finding tailored treatments to improve the quality of survival and helping to halve the harm that brain tumours have on children and their families.

You possess the power to change lives and contribute to pioneering research that offers hope to families like Alex's. Join us in supporting Adam, Martin, Mike, Pablo and Kosta as they ascend the Swiss Alps, not merely in pursuit of a mountain's peak, but in pursuit of a future where every individual diagnosed with DLGNT, like Alex, has the chance to reach for their dreams rather than fight for their lives.
