Four years ago Darren Tate, a family friend, had a major heart attack while out hiking on Blencathra in Cumbria. He was lucky to survive through the night, until he could be treated the next morning.
Young, fit and active, Darren was completely unaware he had a heart defect. Under the name Hearts of Cumbria, he then set up a campaign to get The Heart Centre at Cumberland Infirmary open 24hrs a day, rather than just from 9am to 5pm.
I’m proud to be supporting his ongoing fundraising efforts through a talk about my 1st Everest expedition, an epic ascent in which a team already weakened by conflict within the group, then climbed into the worst storm in the history of Everest.
