In Spring 2026, I will return to the Himalayas to climb Mount Everest, while continuing to raise vital funds in support of the charity Macmillan Cancer Support.
The expedition is both a personal testament to human resilience and a publicly powerful platform for sparking global awareness of the need for more research into life limiting cancers. As both a patient and a researcher in exercise and cancer, this expedition enables me to share a unique perspective and inspire others.
My funding strategy includes both corporate partnerships and community-based crowdfunding. Your donation will help cover expedition costs, including flights, equipment, and other essential expenses needed to make this project possible.
Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. Even sharing this fundraiser with friends and family helps more than you know.
I will keep you updated on my expedition and how your generosity is helping raise money for cancer charity.
