When the opportunity to fundraise to travel to Nepal first presented itself, I jumped. I didn't know much about the country, but I had heard about the trek to Everest Base Camp. It was this journey that lured me to the Himalayas, but the greatest adventure began with my heart.

Over the course of several months, I fell in love with Nepal --- the people, the countryside, the rich culture. Experiencing the kindness of strangers, watching devotion to family, and sharing boisterous fits of laughter under clear night skies drew me closer and closer into the heart of this land.

I'm honored to give back to a place that has given me so much. Thank you for sharing this adventure with me, Stuart.
