Recently, our dear Chinny tragically passed away on Himlung Himal in Nepal.

We have been overwhelmed with the amount of love and support we have received. Even though we may not be able to respond to you all immediately, please know we are so grateful for you and how much you loved our Chinny.

While no words can ease this loss, we choose to honour Chinny's memory by giving back to those who make high-altitude expeditions possible — the devoted Sherpas of Nepal.

Sherpas risk their lives on every climb. Their courage, skill, and selflessness make every expedition possible, yet they often work with limited support or protection.

In Chinny's honour, and in lieu of flowers, we are raising funds to provide direct assistance to sherpa communities and rescue teams, ensuring they have the resources, training, and care they deserve. We will work closely with Chinny’s friends in Nepal to ensure the funds are distributed where they are needed most.

Thank you for helping us honour Chinny’s adventurous spirit and give back to the people he deeply admired.

— With love,

Chinny’s family and friends
