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.
