Who supports our friend Denise in her sponsored run?
empathy
Nepali migrant workers in Ladakh live in challenging conditions. They are constantly exposed to the thin air and harsh climate of the high Himalayas. In order to draw attention to the living conditions of the people in the Himalayas and to collect funds for the school and vocational training of young Nepalis, Daniel Bürgi, the CEO of Himalayan Life, with a group of another five people from Switzerland, Canada, USA and Nepal by bike from September 10th to 16th around 600 km through the high Himalayas. Among other things, you drive over the two highest passable passes in the world - the 5391 m high Chang-La Pass and the 5602 m high Kardung-La Pass. «With this campaign we can at least approach the reality of Nepali migrant workers to a small extent and show them that we are connected to them. That's why we're making the effort to hold this special sponsored run locally," says Daniel Bürgi.
Denise is the only woman taking on the challenge of cycling 600 km in the thin high Himalayan air
Support the only woman on the team
Our friend Denise Wiltse from Alaska is the only woman taking on the challenge of cycling the 600 km in the thin air. This is very brave, and we would be very happy if you supported Denise with a contribution. Every franc/euro donated goes 100% to the people of Nepal. For Denise and all the other bikers (and also for the film/photo team...) it is a matter of honor that everyone pays their own expenses.
You can provide your support via the Fundrazr platform or directly to Himalayan Life bank account Please pay with the note “ALTITUDE Denise”.
