A Hampshire pharmacist is supporting an epic new expedition from the Dead Sea to the top of the world.

Sultan ‘SID’ Dajani, owner of Wainwrights Chemist in Eastleigh, is backing adventurer and Army Cadets national ambassador Jordan Wylie MBE as he takes on 'Xtreme Everest – Dead Sea to Death Zone.'

The challenge will take Mr Wylie from the Dead Sea at -430m to a 2028 summit attempt of Mount Everest at 8,848m.

It will also give 10 Army Cadets from across the UK a fully funded trek to Everest Base Camp.

Mr Dajani said: "This latest feat won’t simply raise the bar – it will carry it from the lowest point on earth to the highest.

"It’s a privilege to support him on his next historical adventure and raise money for a great cause."
