“A Message from the Mountains… and My Heart

“I’ve faced brutal storms, climbed through the deadliest death zones, and battled exhaustion at the highest places on Earth. But nothing—nothing—tested me like what happened after I came back from G1 and G2 in Pakistan.

“My leg went numb. I lost all feeling. One moment, I was standing on top of the world, and the next, I couldn’t even stand on my own feet. The dream I had spent my whole life chasing—14×8000—suddenly felt like it was slipping away.

“I was rushed into spinal surgery, not knowing if I would ever walk again, let alone climb. Six months. Six long months of pain, of frustration, of teaching my legs to move again, step by step, inch by inch. I started from zero. I fell, I struggled, but I never gave up. Because this dream—our dream—was always bigger than the pain.
And then, with your prayers and my unwavering faith, I returned. I climbed 6 more of the world’s highest peaks. I finished what I started. I proved to myself—and to the world—that nothing is impossible if you refuse to surrender.

“But now, the spine that carried me through all those summits is calling for help again.

“In a few days, I will be going in for another major spinal surgery.  And to be honest… I’m scared. But I know one thing for sure—I have never been alone in this journey.

“Your duas, your love, and your belief in me have been my greatest strength. I’ve conquered mountains with your prayers before, and I will conquer this too. Because this is not where my journey ends—this is where I rise again.

“Pray for me, stand with me, and I promise… I’ll see you all on top again.

Much love,
Shehroze Kashif”
