Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In November I am heading to Everest Base Camp. At an altitude of 5,364 meters (6.5 times the height of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world), there is only about 50% of the oxygen compared to sea-level. The low level of oxygen makes this a difficult and exhausting trek.

I am doing it to raise funds for 2 great charities.  The British Heart Foundation and Leukaemia Busters.

This page is for the British Heart Foundation.  My Leukaemia Busters page can be found at https://www.justgiving.com/SimonLewisLB

Coronary heart disease is the UK's single biggest killer, The British Heart Foundation are leading the fight against it. My mum has recently had a triple heart bypass and would not be here if it was not for the excellent work & research of this charity.

Leukaemia Busters’ research is aimed at saving young lives. Their mission is to fund and conduct research focused on discovering and developing novel antibody-based treatments for patients with leukaemia and other related blood cancers.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
