This May, I hiked in the Himalayas and summited Kala Patthar (5645m) before spending the night at Everest Base Camp for two charities close to my heart. 50% of the funds will be going to a small charity called ‘Ahead of The Game’, which is providing vital support for my friend Connor’s rehabilitation who one year ago was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a very rare type of brain cancer in young adults.

Additionally, I will be supporting the Rose mere Cancer Foundation in Preston, who are providing incredible assistance to my Mum and Grandma during their ongoing challenging times with Ovarian Cancer. Without this charity my family as well as many others won’t be able to receive the support they deserve.

Not only is this about raising awareness but it is also a challenge for myself to be being able to achieve the best out of a difficult situation. Your generous contributions big or small will not only help raise awareness but also make a real difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Thank you for your support!
