My two week trek in the Himalayas (UK fundraise)

Hi all, firstly, thank you so much for considering donating to my fundraising efforts for an extremely worthy charity, The Brain Tumour Charity www.thebraintumourcharity.org

I have always been completely fascinated with Mount Everest and have read many books and watched all movies on it. For anyone who gets to the summit, I am in complete awe! In all honesty, the summit completely terrifies me but in November 2022, I have decided to do a two-week solo trek (accompanied by my sherpa) in the region. I will end up at Everest Base Camp but have chosen the longer and tougher route to get there.

The trip will start with a sketchy flight from Katmandhu to Lukla airport, known to be ‘the world's most dangerous airport’ due to having the highest, shortest and steepest runway in the world. From then on, I trek to various peaks over the course of the two weeks: 1) Gokyo Ri at 5360m, 2) Cho La Pass at 5420m, 3) Kalapatthar at 5550m and 4) Everest Base Camp at 5364m, all while contending with below-freezing conditions, low oxygen levels, possible altitude sickness, gorgeous greasy hair and interesting smells due to only accessing a shower once during the trek!

While doing this, I want to raise funds and awareness for The Brain Tumour Charity, in honour of my dear friend Harry Parsons. Harry has had recurring brain tumours since I first met him in 2015 and his battle still goes on. With his strength and determination, he will beat this b*****d, but charities like The Brain Tumour Charity provide help and support to patients and their families when their lives have been turned upside down, as well as being the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally.

I know there will be pain to come and moments where I doubt whether I can keep on going, but you will always be in my mind Haz and I promise to not give up!

Any donation is hugely appreciated. Thank you! Jenn (or as Harry calls me, Crammy) x
