Trekking Through Pain – Everest for a Cause

Trekking Through Pain – Everest for a Cause
Story
Hi there!
I'm taking on a personal challenge that means the world to me — trekking to Everest Base Camp (5,364m) this September, just three kilometres closer to the roof of the world. It's a twelve-day, strenuous journey covering approximately 130 kilometres, and I'm using this challenge to raise funds for Arthritis Australia.
Though my arthritis is mild, when an episode hits, it's a real struggle — even walking to the bathroom or getting to work becomes difficult. On those days, painkillers are my best friends.
After a recent painful flare-up, I made a promise to myself: to come back stronger. And this time, it's all the way to Base Camp.
Over the past year, I've been preparing both physically and mentally — doing sections of the Great Ocean Walk, completing the Three Capes Walk (50km) in Tasmania, and taking on a section of the Pekoe Trail in Sri Lanka this September, before heading to Nepal. Now, I'm ready for the big push.
💪 Join hands with me as I turn this personal journey into something bigger — supporting Arthritis Australia's work, from groundbreaking research to helping children living with arthritis.
Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Contributions are secure and go directly to Arthritis Australia.
Thanks so much for your support — and for walking alongside me on this journey 💙
Cheers
