From the Lowest Point to the Highest Point for Cancer Expedition






The first Jordanian to climb Mount Everest, Mostafa Salameh, will lead a team of prominent Jordanians on an expedition from the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea, to the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest base camp.

The aim of this expedition, which was named From the Lowest Point to the Highest Point for Cancer, will be to raise funds for the King Hussein Cancer Foundation (KHCF). All funds generated by this expedition will support the New King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC) Expansion Project. Your support and donations to this project will help build lifesaving space and increase KHCC's capacity to treat many more cancer patients for generations to come.
