Story

Welcome to my page!

On the 29th of August 2024, I will be travelling to Kathmandu, Nepal to attempt to reach Mount Everest base camp during a 15-day expedition through the Himalayas. This life-changing adventure is to raise money for the Meningitis Research Foundation.

Meningitis is a devastating disease that affects people of all ages, often striking without warning. This fundraiser aims to support the research and prevention efforts of the Meningitis Research Foundation, working tirelessly to save lives and improve the quality of life for survivors. Your participation and support can make a significant impact on this critical mission.

The expedition to Everest Base Camp is not just a trek; it's a statement of commitment to combat meningitis. I will be climbing to altitudes of 18,000 feet, with the hope to inspire and unite people, proving that together, we can conquer even the most daunting challenges. By undertaking this journey, I hope to demonstrate the resilience and strength required to overcome adversity, just as those affected by meningitis must do every day.

Your support is critical to the success of this fundraiser. Whether you choose to donate or simply spread the word, you'll be contributing to ground breaking research, raising awareness, and making a real difference in the fight against meningitis.

I hope to use this space as a force for good in the world and will be posting updates during the fundraiser as well as when I get to Nepal and embark on a crazy new chapter of my life.
