Hike Amid Himalayan Giants With Biotech Leaders

Following a successful summit of Mt. Everest in 2018 and an extraordinary inaugural team summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2019, Luke Timmerman has set his sights on a new adventure: hiking the Himalayas’ storied trails to Everest Base Camp. Executives and investors from the biotech and pharmaceutical industries will come together to form Team Everest Base Camp and will travel to Nepal in March 2020.

Each Team Everest Base Camp climber will raise $50,000 or more to support cancer research at Fred Hutch.
