Three 4000m Peak Challenge - Italy, France and Switzerland

I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Hello,

I am heading over to the Alps this late Summer to take on three well known mountains climbs over a 7 day span - each at an altitude over 4000 metres.  

Gran Paradiso - 4061m - Italy

Mont Blanc - 4805m - France

Matterhorn - 4478m - Switzerland

Every part of the expedition will rely heavily on the weather and assessment of safety as is always the case particularly in high altitude mountain terrain.  I can however pledge that my determination and ongoing commitment to training and fitness will not be the barrier to my success.

I would like to support and raise awareness for Pancreatic Cancer UK in remembrance of a dear colleague who sadly past away in 2025 after suffering this horrendous disease.  Dan was always very supportive of my outdoor adventures and always had the words to make me believe in myself.  His passing is a forever sadness and I would like to celebrate my up and coming challenge by guiding donations towards a cause I know he would very much appreciate - helping others.

Look out for me on the mountains Dan please ☁️ 

Stacey

We miss you terribly :(

We are Pancreatic Cancer UK.

We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease. Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So, we do more.

We bring more breakthroughs through research, more change through campaigning, and more support through our expert nurses. We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.

My donations could fund...

30 hours with a nurse on our Support Line

or

13 hours of early diagnosis research

Early June Update

Hello,

Another round of thanks to my most recent additions.

It is really wonderful watching the hours of lab research or nurse support increase as they are.

We at the lab recently honoured Dan's birthday with a walk to the local beach and a further hike up Scolty Hill, a local favourite spot of Dan's.

80 days now until I set off to Geneva and happy to report that training is going well and feeling stronger as the weeks tick by. 

I really have landed on my feet and feel extremely lucky with huge support from my gym and the time that is being taken to coach me with targeted strength training.

Further updates to come (got a big mountain day this Saturday with a superstar fellow high(er) high altitude climbing friend ;-)).
