Walkrite patients, the Jayaswal family (Vikash and Madhurita and their children Tarranum (14) and Vivaan (10)), undertook a mighty challenge to trek to Everest Basecamp to raise money for the school they have founded in India to educate underprivileged children.

They did this in recognition of the importance of education in a child’s life and the impact a good education can have on someone’s future.

They have faced their own problems with pain and injury over the years which we have helped with in our own small way and they trained very seriously for this undertaking, which was a once in a lifetime family opportunity and, on 14th November 2023, they got there, but with some trials and tribulations along the way….

You can see their TV interview with the BBC here and details about their fundraising efforts so far here.

Massive congratulations from all at Walkrite!
