Jake & Steve's Everesting Challenge - 10 Nov 2024
Jake and Steve are doing something a bit crazy to raise vital funds and awareness on 10 November 2024, World Neuroendocrine Cancer Day: we are attempting an "Everest" on our bikes (see: https://everesting.cc/the-rules/).
What does that mean? We are going to try and climb the vertical height of Mount Everest (8,848m) by climbing Mount Osmond Road in Adelaide 42 times! For context, Steve has never racked 2,000 vertical meters on a single ride before.
Why? For starter's, we're nuts (it was technically Jake's idea). Secondly and more importantly, we both have dear family affected by this form of cancer (Steve's wife Jamie, and Jake's mother-in-law Kathy, who sadly passed last year). See their stories here:
Kathy Hatzi - NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia
Jamie, SA - NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia
Please consider supporting us by donating to NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia, an organization near and dear to our hearts. If you're a cyclist, feel free to come to Mount Osmond on 10 November 2024 and ride with us or cheer us on. We will be there ALL DAY and late into the evening/night, for sure.
Thank you for your support!

Wow, Jake, that’s incredible—what an inspiring way to raise funds and awareness! I admire both the challenge and the meaning behind it, especially knowing it’s so personal to you and Steve. It’s amazing that you're taking on something so physically demanding to honor Jamie and Kathy. Wishing you all the best for the ride—42 climbs up Mount Osmond is no joke, but I know your motivation will keep you going.
