Sea to Summit
Sea to Summit is a unique expedition created by our Austrian friend Sabrina Filzmoser, aiming to travel from sea level all the way to the summit of
Mount Everest. In 2022, after recovering from cancer, this expedition became my first major endurance challenge. Together with Laxmi Magar, Nepal's National Women's Mountain Bike Champion, I had the honor of supporting Sabrina by completing the cycling portion of the project. Our ride began at sea level in Digha, India, covering 1,185 kilometers through India and Nepal to Bupsa in the Solukhumbu District. From there, Sabrina continued on foot to Everest Base Camp and successfully summited Mount Everest, fulfilling the ultimate goal of the Sea to Summit project. For me, completing this 1,185 km journey was more than just an endurance challenge. It marked my return to long-distance adventure after cancer and reminded me that determination, teamwork and resilience can
overcome even the greatest challenges. I am deeply grateful to Sabrina Filzmoser for inviting me to be part of this inspiring expedition. I also want to thank Laxmi Magar for sharing that unforgettable journey me as a teammate. It was an honor to contribute to a project that connected sea level with the world's highest mountain, proving that with courage, commitment, and perseverance, extraordinary dreams can become reality.
