To Everest and Beyond

After conquering the dizzying heights of some of the most popular treks in the world including Mt Everest Base Camp, Mt Kilimanjaro and Borneo Sandakan Death March, MHF are set to embark on our toughest challenge yet!

In October this year, Mark along with Roosters Head Coach Trent Robinson, Knights Old Boys Danny Buderus and Bill Peden, plus 20 other mates and associates are taking on our highest, most treacherous challenge yet – Everest Base Camp Twin Peaks Summit.

Heading off the beaten track from Dingboche to Lobuche the team will then summit Chukking Ri at 5550m and trek through Kongma La, overlooking the Himalayas. With an added hike across the Khumbu Glacier, the world highest glacier, this is going to be one hell of an adventure!

We are hoping to raise $400,000 which will ensure that we are able to fund the incredible MHF Brain Cancer Care Coordinators in the Hunter New England and Mid North Coast health districts. To see the impact that our nurses are having each day on brain cancer patients and their families please watch the very special video below. 

You can support the trekkers here.

Donate today & help beat brain cancer

Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in children, and adults aged under 40 in Australia, yet alarmingly very little is known about brain cancer, its causes or how it is treated.

That’s why we need your help. Every dollar helps in the fight against brain cancer. Your donation will go towards vital research to improve patient treatments and, hopefully, find a cure one day.

All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
