Story
Getting Gutsy for GI Cancer Research
In 2021, Professor Niall Tebbutt and team will be taking on an extreme mountaineering climb, ascending to extraordinary heights. They will scale the 7,126m Mt Himlung Himal in Nepal.
Mt Himlung Himal is located in the Manaslu region of Nepal, which is considered one of the most remote corners of the mountain country at the border between Nepal and Tibet. The climb is a steep and icy ascent, and since its opening in 1992 only a handful of teams have successfully completed it.
Joining Niall on this challenge is Dr Matt Burge, Dr Lara Lipton, Dr Simone Steel, John Deadman, Jasmine Lipton and Jason Long.
Following months of training, including ‘practice’ climbs scaling icy peaks in New Zealand, to master the technical expertise and fitness level that is required to climb Mt Himlung Himal, the team will take on the 28 day climb to reach the summit. This is a remarkable effort on the part of the members of this team to raise much needed funds for GI cancer research.
“We are undertaking this noteworthy Gutsy Challenge to raise funds to support innovative and vital research so that we can continue to provide better treatments for people living with GI Cancer,” said Professor Niall Tebbutt. “We need your support in helping us reach the top so that we can achieve our ultimate aim of making GI cancer a disease of the past.”
GI cancer includes cancer of the oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder and biliary tract, pancreas, large and small bowel and rectum and anus.
Over 28,900 Australians diagnosed every year, with 38 Australians dying every day.
All funds raised will support the Innovation Fund, which is designed to provide new clinical trial opportunities for patients with GI cancer.
