LAUNCH THE 14 PEAKS MISSION
In May 2026, I reached the summit of Mount Everest while living with Stage 4 breast cancer.
But Everest was never the finish line—it was the beginning.
I'm now embarking on a four-year mission to climb the remaining 13 of the world's 8,000-metre peaks, using one of the world's greatest mountaineering challenges as a platform to create lasting impact.
This mission will:
- Advance research into hypoxia and cancer.
- Redefine what is possible for people living with cancer by challenging perceptions of resilience and human potential.
- Build partnerships that support research, education, and charitable initiatives.
Why £15,000?
The 14 Peaks Mission will be funded through a combination of public donations, corporate partnerships, and sponsorship.
This campaign will launch Year One, the first expedition to Manaslu (8163 meters), the world's eigth-highest mountain. Your support will help make the expedition possible while enabling the research, storytelling, education and outreach that sit at the heart of the mission.
Be part of the journey
This isn't simply about climbing mountains. It's about using adventure to advance science, inspire hope, and demonstrate what can be achieved when purpose and determination come together.
Whether you donate, share this page, or follow the journey, you're becoming part of something much bigger than a summit.
Thank you for believing in this mission and helping launch the next chapter.
