Update #12
2 days ago

We’re on our way! We’ve walked through some breathtaking terrain, on well-trod rocky paths, under clear blue skies. We’re presently at 2800 metres, not high enough yet for altitude sickness - tomorrow will be the first test. I have walked today with gratitude - thank you very much for your support.

Why I am fundraising for The Rotary Foundation
To help eradicate polio once and for all, I will be walking 6 km every day for 60 days, culminating in a final challenge: a trek to Everest Base Camp. I'm taking this journey to raise awareness and funds to End Polio – a disease that is 99.9% eradicated but still threatens children in vulnerable communities.

Every step I take represents the millions of steps needed to deliver vaccines, educate communities, and provide other essential support. But I can’t do this alone – I need your help!

By partnering with me, you will be:
✔ Keeping children safe - from this devastating disease
✔ Making a global impact – your contribution directly supports Rotary’s polio eradication efforts
✔ Being part of history – Rotary and its partners are on the verge of eradicating polio forever. Your support helps make that possible!

Please make a donation to help us obtain the vaccines, transport and materials needed in our fight against polio - or share my page to spread the word.
