My Everest Base Camp Journey

Hello Everyone,

It's finally happening! I am excited to inform you all that I have booked my Everest Base Camp trek (https://sherpaexpeditiontrekking.com/package/everest-base-camp-trek). It has been on my bucket list for quite some time, and I am extremely happy and blessed to have reached this point. With the challenges & obstacles in my health, I was not sure If I would be able to go to EBC, but God has finally given me the strength to challenge myself, the will to come out of my comfort zone, and the energy to fulfill my personal goal.

I would also like to use this journey as an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the community. Ever since I started my EBC plan, I am constantly reminded of how much of the mind is at play in achieving our potentials, and how a healthy mind is the pathway to a healthy self. With that in mind, I am encouraged to use this adventure as a platform to raise awareness and funds to help people suffering from mental health issues. Addressing mental health issues holds immense significance and it's crucial to recognize that it can lead to severe consequences if not treated. More on the actual issues themselves can be found in an article by the National Library of Medical (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10460242/). With your support, I would like to help Manasu, an organization that matches this cause perfectly. I am especially impressed with how Manasu helps people with low and no financial standing, and every little bit that we could do, will go a long way.

Please find details about Manasu here: http://www.manasu.org.in

I have been thinking about this cause from the time I have started my EBC journey, have seen and heard the heartbreaking stories of the people that come to them, and Manasu going out of their way to rehabilitate them, and it's truly heartwarming to hear their success stories as they gain their lives back.

I hope my small contribution to helping humanity, with your support and encouragement would go a long way in making a meaningful win-win experience. All of the donations collected will be given to Mansu.

Thank you again for being a part of this meaningful chapter of my life!

Best, Subhasini Harris
