Reaching New Heights for Breakthrough Scientists

This expedition is a trip of a lifetime — a trek in the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp (17,500 feet / 5,364 meters).

April 11 - 27, 2025

Our team participants will train their bodies for the physical and mental rigors of high altitude. They will think creatively and activate their networks to raise money for the innovative young scientists supported by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. Our goal as a collective team is to reach at least $700,000 for brave and bold Damon Runyon scientists.

At the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, we fund high-risk, high-reward cancer research. We identify and enable young scientists who are brilliant, brave, and bold enough to go where others haven’t.

Since our founding, Damon Runyon cancer researchers have made extraordinary breakthroughs in every area of cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. To this day, we support the next generation of leaders — emerging talent with unique insights, drive, and boundless vision. We will not stop until we have the tools to prevent or cure all cancers.
