Dear team at AG1,

I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out to explore a potential sponsorship opportunity with AG1.

My name is Karolina Pakėnaitė, and I am on a mission to become the first deafblind person to summit Mount Everest in 2026. However, my journey is time-sensitive - I have Usher syndrome, a progressive condition affecting both my vision and hearing, and my remaining sight is deteriorating. To safely prepare for Everest, it is critical that I complete my Himlung Himal (7,126m) expedition this October, where I will gain the technical and high-altitude skills necessary for Everest. Beyond my personal climb, I am also working on making extreme adventure more accessible - through developing haptic wearables, multi-sensory storytelling, and community treks for deafblind individuals.

I am currently seeking £10,000 in sponsorship for either my Himlung Himal expedition or the Poon Hill trek with deafblind locals, and I would love to explore whether AG1 might be interested in supporting this mission - whether through financial sponsorship, collaboration, or amplifying this journey within your network.

As a way to showcase your support, I would be honoured to wear the AG1 logo on my expedition suit. Additionally, if further sponsorship is offered, I would proudly carry the AG1 flag to the summit of Everest in 2026, symbolising our shared commitment to resilience, inclusion, and breaking barriers.

I would love to share my Project Portfolio and Sponsorship Proposal, outlining potential ways we could collaborate. If full sponsorship isn’t possible, I would also be grateful for partial support or alternative ways to work together.

Would AG1 be open to discussing this further? I’d love the opportunity to connect and explore how we can work together to inspire and empower communities through adventure and inclusion.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best regards,
Karolina Pakėnaitė (Caroline)
