Dear Friends,

In the coming weeks, my sons — Michael and Patrick — and I will be heading off on a meaningful journey to Nepal, where we’ll spend around 8–10 days trekking through the breathtaking Himalayas toward the base of Mt. Everest. Following the trek, we aim to reach the summit of a nearby Himalayan peak towering over 20,000 feet.

Joining us is our close friend Oliver Browne, the founder of True Summit Adventures. Ollie is no stranger to extreme challenges — he recently completed the Talisker Atlantic Challenge, rowing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 4-man team and finishing in just 32 days and 12 hours, achieving the 8th fastest crossing ever recorded!

But for our family, this adventure goes beyond physical goals.
