The first part of the challenge is complete! I’ve walked 6 kms every day for 60 days. I’ve arrived in busy, bustling Kathmandu, ready for the final stretch - to Everest Base Camp. This city is full of energy and enterprise - and trekkers too! Good to know we won’t be alone in the mountains! 😀

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.
