Alecia Jade hasn't added a story.
My name is Jamie and I’m climbing Everest to save Rachel’s life.
It’s going to be tough, but nowhere near as tough as what it must be like to suffer extreme pain and debilitating illness every single day; which is what Rachel experiences every day of her life.
…. Which is why I’m doing this in her honour and to raise much- needed funds to save her life.
Rachel Williamson is one of my sister’s closest friends and has been very sick with a rare nerve condition, Lymes Disease and Bells Palsy of the stomach for a long time now.
She needs life-saving treatment in Austria but it is going to cost a lot of money; money that her and her single mother do not have.
I NEED YOUR HELP.
Please donate what you can to Rachel’s treatment and support me on one of the most challenging adventures of my life yet.

I'll be completing the Everest Base Camp climb in April of next year (2019)
I'm beginning the fundraiser now because Rachel's illness and pain is getting much worse and we need to raise funds urgently sooner rather than later!
An Everest base camp trek is the adventure of a lifetime. The path begins in ancient Kathmandu, where I'll acclimate anticipate my ascent. My trek to Everest Base Camp at 5,364m (over 3.5 miles!) to the base of the world's tallest mountain will take me over suspension bridges spanning chasms of thin air, through hidden Buddhist monasteries, and into the heart of the warm, rugged Sherpa culture.
It's going to be a 15 day climb with the biggest difficulty being the altitude and the long length of time.
A lot of training is required beforehand, which I'll be commencing this December in preparation for April.
— Read more info on Rachel’s story here:
Rachel is extremely unwell. Without treatment, the prognosis is devastating; a slow and painful death due to her body shutting down progressively.
This treatment is the last hope there is to save her life.
Rachel has exhausted all avenues in Australia and has one last shot for treatment in Austria.
Living on a Pension with her single mother means that there is no way she could ever afford the treatment.
Thank you for your time. I'll keep you informed with Rachel's progress and I can’t wait to share this adventure with you all.
**Pls Note: When donating, pls note there is an option to pay a fee to Fundrazr on top of your donation. Simply unclick the button and you do not have to pay the fee. It is optional.
