Xtreme Everest

While Jordan Wylie takes on his epic journey from the Dead Sea to Mount Everest, you can become part of the adventure by joining Team Xtreme.

We’re calling on cadets, adult volunteers, family members, friends, and supporters to help raise funds for adventure training across the Army Cadet Force. Every pound raised will help create life-changing opportunities for cadets and adult volunteers to develop new skills, build confidence, and take part in unforgettable experiences.

Create your fundraising page quickly and easily at Givestar and choose to a distance to travel… whether you take on a specific part of Jordan’s route, or match him kilometre for kilometre, you have until Easter 2028 to complete your own challenge.

Walk, run, cycle, canoe, swim, hop, skip, paddle, or mix activities together. Every kilometre counts.

Ask friends, family, and colleagues to sponsor you for every kilometre (or every 10 kilometres) you complete. Set your own goals and track your progress as you travel virtually from the Dead Sea towards Everest.

Whether you complete a few hundred kilometres or go the whole distance(!), you’ll be helping to give more young people access to adventure.

We’ll recognise every Team Xtreme member’s fundraising milestones:

Join Team Xtreme today, set up your page, share with your community and start your virtual journey towards Everest.

No cash? No Problem! Supporters can donate to your Givestar page by using the free tap-to-donate app on your smartphone (find out how to set this up).
Together, we can help more cadets and adult volunteers experience the adventure of a lifetime.

Jordan Wylie MBE has already raised over £90,000 for ACCT UK (including gift aid) through his Antarctic Odyssey and Eco-Triathlon campaigns. Now, with your support, he’s aiming to build on this total to reach an ambitious £250,000 target through his latest challenge… Xtreme Everest.

Xtreme Everest is Jordan’s newest and most ambitious project yet. A journey from the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, to the summit of Mount Everest, the highest. This remarkable global expedition blends endurance, adventure and youth development, placing Army Cadets at the heart of an extraordinary story.

Army Cadets UK Ambassador, Jordan, will travel thousands of miles overland through the Middle East and Asia before reaching Nepal for the final, formidable challenge… An attempt to summit Mount Everest.

Ten Army Cadets will join Jordan in Nepal to trek to Everest Base Camp before he attempts to summit the world’s highest peak. Applications to join the expedition are now closed, but you can be part of the adventure by joining Team Xtreme…
Find details and updates about the selection process on the Army Cadets website.

A defining feature of Xtreme Everest is its commitment to young people. Ten Army Cadets from across the UK will be selected to join Jordan in Nepal for the Everest Base Camp phase. This is a once-in-a-lifetime Himalayan expedition offering adventure, learning and leadership in one of the most inspiring environments on Earth.

These cadets will trek alongside Jordan and his team, developing the qualities of resilience, confidence and courage that set the next generation of leaders apart. Applications for this unique opportunity have now closed. Selection will be based on commitment, character and personal development.

Funds raised over the next two years of the challenge will go to supporting the vital work of ACCT UK and contribute towards adventure training for Army Cadets and adult volunteers. These experiences play a vital role in helping young people build resilience, leadership, and confidence through truly life-changing opportunities.

Adventure training includes activities such as caving, mountaineering, climbing, mountain biking, and paddle sports (kayak, open canoeing, stand-up paddle board). It offers proven benefits for physical, mental, and personal development, taking young people outside their comfort zone, fostering skills such as resilience, leadership, and teamwork.
