Summit Campaign 2027: 40 students, one year of school.
Each expedition now has one clear goal. Follow Maria's position and altitude live, sponsor a metre of the climb, and watch the students funded add up beside her.
Where Maria is right now.
Her satellite tracker sends position and altitude straight to this page. The money raised updates alongside it.
"Rest day at Camp 3. Winds easing tomorrow. Thinking of the 15 students already funded. Let's get the other 25 to the top with me." · Maria

Every metre of the mountain is up for sponsorship at £7. Sponsor the metres that mean something to you: your birthday in metres, your company's founding year, or the summit itself.
- Your name on the live route map at your metres
- A dispatch from Maria when she passes them
- Gift Aid adds 25% if you're a UK taxpayer

The sponsor pays for the climb. Donors pay for students.
Each expedition has a title sponsor who covers its costs: permits, oxygen, guides and travel. That keeps the line clear: not a penny of a public donation goes up the mountain.
For a company, it means a story told live to a global audience, for a cause no one can argue with.
