The Challenge
In November 2023, you’re invited on the adventure-of-a-lifetime into the heart of Nepal, to raise vital funds to help the International CML Foundation Cure CML.
Join the iCMLf Climb for a Cure Annapurna 2023 and with every step you take through the majestic Annapurna mountain range, you’ll raise vital funds to help the iCMLf get closer to a cure.
Immersed in the rich history and culture of Nepal’s Gurung (Tamu) people, you’ll discover one of the world’s premier trekking destinations – the Annapurna mountain range, through paddy fields and fragrant forests, beside glaciers and waterfalls, and in the shadow of imposing snow-capped peaks.
The Difference You'll Make
In the last 3 years, and with the help of the iCMLf Climb for a Cure – Kilimanjaro, the Foundation has invested over $300,000 in CML research. In the past year alone, the iCMLf has committed $50,000 to the iCMLf Genomics Alliance project ‘Investigating Clonal Hierarchy in CML’ and $100,000 to the iCMLf project looking to maximise treatment free remission.
We achieve more together. Will you meet this challenge? Will you climb for a cure?
Join the iCMLf in Annapurna in 2023 and you’ll raise vital funds to accelerate a cure for CML:
- $50 will facilitate a test for CML
- $500 will assist a clinician to train for one week at a CML centre of excellence
- $1,000 will enable a shipment of 30 patient samples for testing
- $20,000 will give a centre a machine for CML testing on site
Your impact could help find a cure faster.
