Say No To The Helicopter

About Say No To The Helicopter

Sam Cairns is an ordinary adventurer with a less-than-ordinary story.

For many, standing on top of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, is crossing the ultimate frontier, the very edge of human resilience. For Sam, it was more a battle with his own mind, a battle that began years before touching down in Nepal.

Join Sam this April as he shares his journey to conquer Everest, step by gruelling step.

During a soul-searching and inspiring story, he reminds us all that sometimes, the most extraordinary moments in life are found beyond our comfort zone, when we say no to the easy way out.
