Thank you Cherie for your amazing leadership, friendship and support. My time at Everest was amazing, thank you for inspiring me and making this trip possible.
I am fortunate to have known Cherie since 2004, prior to successfully summiting Mount Everest in 2005. Cherie was to introduce herself to our team at one of our information nights. On first speaking to her, we could see that she was a self motivated, dedicated professional, fully committed to our cause in summiting Everest and raising funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. From that day in 2004 she became a supporter of our team, attending our various training sessions where we cemented our friendship… including training sessions through the Dandenong Ranges, Arthur Seat, Grampians, Victorian High Country and the wildness of Tasmania. Cherie was a dedicated member of our team, spending the entire 10 weeks with us at Everest Base Camp and occasionally disappearing into the Khumba Ice Falls where she commenced her passion for mountaineering. Cherie has now climbed mountains in New Zealand, Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and Alaska. She now delivers an excellent personalised trekking adventure service and regularly returns to Nepal, guiding groups to Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lakes, Annapurna and also Africa to guide on Mount Kilimanjaro. I look forward to continuing our friendship and hopefully we will hit the mountains again together for another adventure. Live life to the full!
Cherie's leadership and support could not be faulted before during and after the trek. Her dedication, commitment, and professionalism was excellent. Thanks to her I successfully achieved my goal of reaching Base Camp Everest – an great personal accomplishment.
Cherie's leadership, training and support before and during the trip was first class. Without it I am not sure I would have completed the trek.
