For the ‘Love of Isbo’

Donation protected
October 2022 I will be trekking to Everest Base Camp (EBC) via Gokyo valley (GV) in memory of my lovely Mam ‘Isbo’ who passed away 2018. Sadly since booking the trek my sister, my brother & cousin have passed away to. 
My trek will honour their memory & celebrate their lives & that of a much loved young man Jack Thomas. 

Typically the trek to EBC via GV takes approximately 16 days to complete as it’s roughly 90mile round-trip. Everest Base Camp which stands at 5365m (17,598ft), its 5 times the height of Snowdon. 

Jack’s memorial charity is Cardiac Risk in Youth (C.R.Y.) as every week in the UK 12 young people die suddenly from an undiagnosed heart condition. On 12th February 2012 Jack Thomas became one of those 12 young people. Jack  was a fit and healthy boy who had represented Wales all across Europe on a number of occasions in Taekwondo. Jack was an A* student and had been successful in gaining a scholarship at Cardiff Sixth Form College.  Jack’s death came as a complete shock to his family as Jack had never been ill. All monies raised from my trek will go to Cardiac Risk in the Young (C.R.Y) in Jacks memory which helps pay for much needed free local heart screening sessions & defibrillators. 

Any donation great or small will be gratefully received. A very big heartful ‘Thank you’ in anticipation of your gracious donations ❤️
