Hi, my name is Kev Howlett. In March 2014, I will be trekking to Mount Everest basecamp. I'm a photographer, so I'd love you to walk with me by helping fund the printing of a full colour coffee table book.

I'd love to have done this with my son but he has CMT, which is a peripheral nerve degeneration. He's had both feet reconstructed, so he couldn't walk very far. You probably haven't heard of CMT (named after the doctors who discovered it: Charcot, Marie, Tooth). So my mission is to educate people about it through the sales of the book. A portion of the profits will go to CMT Australia to help find a cure and raise awareness. After all, everyone deserves good quality of life, don't they?

If you'd like to know more about CMT, go to the website http://cmt.org.au

How The Funds Will Be Used

The actual trek is already paid out of my own pocket. Because I'm a photographer, I will be able to do all the design work for the book. But colour printing is expensive and I need a bit of a boost to get the first 100 books printed. Once we sell the first 100, that money can fund a reprint.
costs:
trek - $2400
airfare - $900
gear- $600
design layout of book - $2500
printing of 100 books - $2000
total project cost: $8400

The Challenges

This project will go ahead regardless of Pozible funding because I've committed and paid for the trip. It may just take me longer to raise the printing costs.

I'm also very passionate about my cause so I will continue to work at making it happen.
