I will be climbing Everest Base Camp in May 2024 and would like to raise funds for an educational Trust Fund which provides scholarships to children in both Buguma and Ido, Rivers State up to university. The charity began May 1995, and is named after my grandmother Mina Ikiriko, who died that month, about 29 years ago. Since then we have trained 100s of students through primary school to university. My team and I will be hiking for 12 days. Mount Everest is the highest point on earth at 8,850 meters (29,035 feet), but we will be climbing to the base camp which is 5,364 metres (17,598 ft).
