On July 27th, 2023, Tenjen Lama Sherpa and Kristin Harila completed something the world had never seen before - completing the worlds 14 highest mountains in just 92 days.

When their lives depended on one another, in the most extreme places on earth, Kristin and Lama formed a unique bond.

Lama spoke often about his two sons, Lakpa Sange and Lakpa Nurbu, and his greatest wish for them: an education. A chance to learn, to grow, and to have opportunities beyond what life in the mountains could offer.

On October 7th, 2023, tragedy struck. In a single moment, a family lost a father and a husband. His wife, Pema, was left to raise their two sons alone - Sange, born in 2007, and Nurbu, born in 2009. The loss of Lama is immeasurable. Kristin promised him that she would help take care of his sons’ education.‍

Funds raised will go directly toward securing education for Lakpa Sange and Lakpa Nurbu. Education means safety, stability, and a future with choice. By supporting their schooling, Lama’s dream continues - even though he is no longer here to walk beside his sons as they grow.
