Hi I'm Luke
Father | Soldier | Engineer | StudentThe reason behind the Journey
With the very recent passing of one of the best people I have ever met, I have set myself a challenge in order to raise some vital awareness and funds for a condition he had suffered with his entire life, Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP)
As you those of you that know me, I don’t like to set something simple and I’m good at making myself work hard for your support, so this challenge needed to step up slightly further from recent ones. My aim in 2021 is to get myself up Everest.
Details of my fundraising and my journey leading up to the event will follow. Over the next 18 months, if you are looking to donate to a charity or cause, please consider me and HSP ( Genetic Alliance UK ).
Below is the link for my Just giving fundraising which you can donate directly through.

Since the initial plan just to trek to Everest Base Camp things has since evolved and what was a 15 day trek has now developed into a 22 day trek which you can read more about on the dedicated page linked below.
