丽阳机构捐赠了42,000令吉以支持狮子会国际珠穆朗玛峰探险队，这将协助狮子会中68岁的詹姆斯·李首次在世界最高峰进行单人登峰尝试。攀登珠穆朗玛峰是詹姆斯·李多年的梦想，自20世纪90年代以来，他一直在为这次探险训练。

到穆朗玛峰山顶的徒步旅行将需要70天，李已经爬过印度尼西亚的Rinjani山，日本的富士山和尼泊尔的Ama Dablam 山，他还在基纳巴卢山进行了16次攀登训练。

李攀登珠穆朗玛峰的使命是为了提高人们对气候变化问题的认识，68岁的李将成为攀登这座山峰最年长的东南亚男子。

Tropicana donates RM42,000 in support of Lions Clubs International Everest Expedition which will see Lions Club's James Lee, 68 make his first solo attempt at the world’s highest peak. Scaling Everest has been his dream for many years, and he has been training for this expedition since the 1990s. 

The trek to the summit will take 70 days. Lee has climbed up Indonesia’s Mount Rinjani, Japan’s Mount Fuji and Nepal’s Mount Ama Dablam. He has also scaled Mount Kinabalu 16 times. His mission to climb Everest comes with a purpose – to raise awareness on the issue of climate change. At 68, Lee will make the record as the oldest man in South-East Asia to climb the temperamental mountain. Mount Everest’s peak is 8,848 metres above sea level and is located in the Mahalangur mountain range in Nepal and Tibet.

The expedition begins on March 31 and it is part of Lions Clubs International District 308 B1 Malaysia’s answer to the Lions Club International Centennial Service Challenge.
