OFFICIAL EVENTS

For 23 days in October (9-31) 2007, cancer survivors and co founders of the Love Hope Strength Foundation (LHSF) Mike Peters of the Welsh rock band the Alarm and entertainment insurance executive James Chippendale are taking the fight against cancer to new heights- Mount Everest. Also taking part in the Everest Rocks trek will be Billy Duffy (The Cult), Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Jimmy Barnes, Dave Wakeling (English Beat), Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze) and Nick Harper along with mountaineers, cancer survivors and those whose lives have been affected by cancer and invited friends on the adventure of a lifetime.

"Everest Rocks" is a fourteen day trek and acoustic concert at the base camp of Mount Everest, with a grand finale rock concert in Kathmandu. Funds raised through the promotions will go to The Love Hope Strength Foundation Cancer Support network that will provide cancer patients and their families with funding for treatments and access to information on the best doctors, treatments, hospitals, clinical trials and medications available.

A portion of the proceeds from events will benefit local cancer charities in each area. Funds raised from the Everest Rocks Event will provide much needed funding to the Nepal Cancer Society and their very worthwhile programs.
