Why This Story Matters
Climbing Everest is a brutal, beautiful test of endurance, judgement, and perseverance. In 2023, I reached 8,000m at the South Col — becoming the first Australian with MS to climb this high — before logistical failures forced a turnaround. That moment of disappointment became a catalyst for clarity about why I climb, and why this story matters.
Everest 2026 is about showcasing what’s possible:
With invisible challenges such as MS — proving that strength isn’t always visible.
For women stepping confidently into arenas still dominated by men.
In our 50s — showing that peak performance doesn’t come with an expiry date.
For anyone who has ever wondered what they are truly capable of — this is a story that showcases what’s possible.

Meet Me — Why I’m Climbing Again
I invite you to take a moment to “meet me in person” through this short video.
This video was first created for a planned 2025 return. After consideration, I chose to pause — to focus on writing my book, give my MS a strong hit with Mavenclad, and save so I can personally contribute to this expedition alongside sponsorship support. The climb is now set for 2026, with greater purpose and perspective shaping the story I’ll share.
