My name is Jim and this is “An EPIC Mountain Adventure”.

The last few years have been particularly tough both financially and mentally. I lost my Mum to Dementia and also got made redundant from my computer games industry job. My health started to suffer - after passing blood for a year and having two colonoscopies I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowell Disease in November 2025. It has made me realise you only have one life and I would love to achieve something different and summit these mountains before it is too late. 

I have undertaken many events for charity and raised some good amounts including £1500 in April 2023 when I summited Snowdon for Dementia UK. I have been passionate about Mountains and Hiking for many years and I have been walking and running for nearly 10 years - I started exercising after hitting my lowest ebb back in 2012 after being diagnosed with Tinnitus. I felt I needed to make a change to try and deal with this tough lifelong condition so I started to get outdoors and into nature more.

I have done some epic hikes including Trolltunga, Ben Nevis, Tryfan, Scafell Pike, Pulpit Roch and many more but I want to expand on this journey further and take it to the next level so I need funding and sponsors to do it as all of the hikes and equipment such as drones, cameras, software, clothing, petrol and parking etc have been self-funded.

The goal for this project is to travel to 5 continents across the world and summit some of the most EPIC & ICONIC Mountains and some of the highest in their respective countries. There are 25 Mountains on the list and the goal is to hike and scramble up them over a 3-month period from 1st June to 1st September 2027.

The full list of Mountains are below:

There are a lot of mountains to cover and I will continue to record all of this footage and bring it to you in 4K on my YouTube channel which I have been building up over the last 3 years and I hope to continue doing that. This channel is not just a point and click adventure - when I am out hiking I like to tell people about the history of the mountain or trail with various facts such as the history, geology and elevation as well as tips for parking and hiking the trail for yourself. To top it off there are awesome views and drone footage of these amazing trails and mountains.

So where will the FUNDS go?

The money will go towards travel costs as there will be many flights to take as well as campsites, hotels, equipment, parking, petrol, car hire and general living costs as I also need to keep paying my mortgage and supporting my family. I currently work freelance as a 3D Animator but work is never guaranteed in this role. I will also need to prepare properly with fitness, altitude and technical training to make sure I am fit enough to finish these hikes and stay safe. Triglav in Slovenia is a gruelling 17 mile hike and 7,500 feet of elevation gain with some scrambling and ropes required near the summit so I need to be fully prepared for this. Mount Whitney is also a mega 14,550 feet so I need time to prepare for the altitude and the strenuous elevation gain as mountains are dangerous places and much prep work is needed to have the best chance of summiting safely.

Thanks very much for viewing my Go Fund Me page and I hope you can help me achieve my goal by donating.

All the best
