Join Xtreme Everest at the 3rd ISEH Park Run

The ISEH will be holding their third annual park run on the 28 June 2015 in the iconic surrounding of Regents Park, London. Members of the Xtreme Everest team will be running on the day to raise much needed funds for the continuation of our research.

The route in Regents Park is precisely measured and flat making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels. As part of your entrance fee you will also be chip timed regardless of if you undertake a 5k or 10k race. You don̢۪t have to run, you can walk or jog on your own or with friends, family and colleagues and enjoy the park's amazing scenery.

We are raising money for our ongoing XE research goals related to identifying genetic markers of good adaptation to a low oxygen environment. This will help us to continue to improve the care of critically ill patients. It costs Xtreme Everest approximately £14.50 a day to store this blood safely. Some of the tests we are planning to carry out on these samples currently cost up to £500 per sample.

To date research carried out by Xtreme Everest has changed the way clinicians manage a number of conditions, such as stroke and chronic headache, and is improving our understanding of the impact of the stress of low oxygen on such things as sugar levels, blood clotting, muscle tissue, the circulation of blood to the brain, heart function, and the circulation of blood to peripheral tissues. However, we still have so much more to achieve, much of which requires the analysis of the blood we still hold in storage from our research.

If you want to join us and run (or walk!) either a 5k or 10k for Xtreme Everest , then please get in touch below. We will be setting up a Just Giving page for donations which you can direct people to or you can fund raise using your own page.
