Everest in the Alps for Brain Tumor Research
Team Syren Updates
Martin Bell and Pablo Tejera-Cuesta return to Team Syren for the Everest in the Alps Challenge again this year. They are also joined by Jean-Marc Lopez and their youngest member at 25 years old, Alex D’Arbost.
D’Arbost was friends with Alex before he passed away. Alex D’Arbost was one of his friends that filmed and produced several of Alex’s music videos. He works in communication and marketing in the hospitality industry and works currently for The Ned in London.
Team Syren is excited to welcome these new team members and looking for more to join are embarking on a grueling challenge to raise much-needed funds for pediatric brain tumor research. Over four intense days, they will ascend a staggering 8,848 meters on skis, facing conditions akin to tackling three consecutive marathons. This incredible feat is known as the Everest in the Alps challenge.
