In 2024, I will be stepping out of my comfort zone and embarking on a journey together with other emergency service workers and participating in Tony’s Trek Side-by-Side, and we are aiming high by heading to Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes in the magnificent Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal.

From 8 March 2024 emergency service personnel, family, and friends will embark on a 19-day trek, with the amazing crew from No Roads Expeditions. Raising awareness and funds for much needed mental health prevention and early intervention programs for our emergency services workers.

Funds raised will go to the Emergency Services Foundation.

The difference they have made to so many emergency service workers is just extraordinary and I know there are so many others that would benefit from their work. But they need more funding to make that happen.

Mental health challenges can often seem like a mountain, but Side-by-Side we can climb mountains together.

Symbolically, Tony’s Trek Side-by-Side represents how we work – Emergency Services, Side-by-Side, when it counts, and in it together for the greater good.

Please show your support for the brave and dedicated few that will undertake the trek as well as your support for the work of the Emergency Services Foundation by donating now.

Also, I would be very grateful for you to share the link to this CrowdRaiser page to your friends and family. The more people who can help the better!

Thank you

regards
