Different musical groups will be playing in a music concert at the Mt. Qomolangma Base Camp in October later this year to help Nepal's Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital, reported the local media house's website THT Online Friday.
Cancer survivors and co-founders of the Love Hope Strength Foundation (LHSF) Mike Peters and James Chippendale will lead 40 musicians, cancer survivors and mountaineers to Base Camp to perform an acoustic concert to help the hospital build the infrastructure of its clinic by providing it with much needed equipment and funding.
"Everest Rocks is a fourteen-day trek and acoustic concert at the base camp of Mt Qomolangma, with a grand finale rock concert in Kathmandu. The entire journey will be captured by a documentary team headed by Alex Coletti (the acclaimed producer of MTV's Unplugged series)," the organizers said on their web site everestrocks.com.
The trek will begin on October 13. For this the team will arrive in Nepal on October 11.
