Join us for an exclusive screening of the powerful new feature-length documentary, When Life Gives You Lemons… Everyone’s Everest, followed by a live Q&A session with the producer and director Tom McShane FRGS and star of the film, Sally Orange MBE.
Physical endurance meets the resilience of the human spirit. Sally Orange MBE is taking her mental health message to the highest marathon in the world. Having faced the uphill battle of cancer recovery, Sally shares the essential tools and wisdom she used to find strength in the wild.
Alongside a community of survivors and experts, she shows us that no matter how steep the challenge, nature provides a way up. Find your strength. Find your summit.
Transforming lives through the power of nature, empowering individuals to find their strength and reach their personal summit. We want a world where the outdoors is a universal resource for both mental and physical health, and where no 'Everest', despite how personal or daunting, is climbed alone.
This documentary features deeply insightful contributions from world-renowned adventurers and experts, including Sir Chris Bonington CVO CBE FRGS, Al Carns OBE MP, Hari Budha Magar MBE FRGS, Krish Thapa, Dr. Sophie Redlin FRGS, Dr. Shaunna Burke, Jo Rycroft, Felicity Ashley, and Francesca Anderson.
