I’m fundraising for Breakthrough T1D to defeat T1D!

*Due to recent events in the Middle East, we have been forced to reschedule this expedition until October 2026 - as Dubai features heavily in the plan. 

Thank you for all your support. Everest Base Camp will happen.  


I’m heading to Everest Base Camp in October* 2026 not just for the challenge, but to raise funds for Breakthrough T1D and life-changing research into Type 1 diabetes. 

Type 1 diabetes can strike anyone at any time. 

Seven Australians are diagnosed every day with Type 1 Diabetes. 

This Mount Everest Base Camp trek is a powerful reminder that progress is slow, conditions are unpredictable, and success depends on resilience and support - just like living with T1D every day. 

If this journey moves you, if you or someone you know is living with Diabetes, please consider donating to help fund research that changes lives.

We need a cure for Type 1 Diabetes - Please and Thank you!
