Welcome to Everest 2010

In an attempt to raises awareness of Australia’s second biggest cancer killer, a team of experienced climbers have decided to tackle Mount Everest. On this site you will be able to follow their progress and help support them in their endeavour.

Public awareness of bowel cancer in Australia needs improving. We can all do our part to assist not only those undergoing treatment but those who spend their lives trying to find a cure by supporting Bowel Cancer Australia’s fundraising and awareness endeavours. The ‘Everest 2010’ expedition is one way that you can help out today. Funds raised will go towards both the cost of the expedition and to Bowel Cancer Australia.
