Raising Funds While Reaching Base Camp
Many trekkers combine their Everest Base Camp adventure with fundraising. It adds a layer of purpose to the pain. Trekking for charity is a popular way to justify the cost and effort of a Mount Everest expedition.
Pick something personal. Whether it's cancer research or Himalayan education, having a 'why' helps you push through the hard days on the trail to the Everest summit view.
Use social media. Share your training journey. People love to support a physical challenge. The backdrop of the Mount Everest summit makes for compelling fundraising content.
Ensure the money goes to the charity, not just funding your holiday. Many organizations offer 'charity challenges' where you commit to raising a minimum amount in exchange for the trip.
Standing at Base Camp knowing you helped others get there is a feeling unmatched by any view.
