Ordinary People with Extraordinary Dreams
TEAM GC lead group expeditions designed to empower women, whilst working with like minded brands and individuals to make a difference to our world and those around us.
We are a growing community, an extended family born from the awe-inspiring personal endeavours of Shadi Ganjavian-Connor who thanks to the amazing support and encouragement of her family and other believers she was inspired to set up TEAM GC We would love for you to join us.
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
Our projects turn heads and inspire others. The most recent endeavour gained media attention in 2017 Shadi created The Matterhorn Fundraising Challenge with the aim of reaching a fundraising goal as high as the mountain itself. Reaching the top of this iconic peak is no mean feat but Shadi had to overcome and extreme fear of heights in order to achieve her dream. Her passion that ‘Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone’ saw her stand on top of the Matterhorn in July that year and along with other fundraising initiatives such as The Make A Difference Ball raised over £75,000 for local children’s charity The Murray Parish Trust.
For 2019 Shadi successfully embarked on the next level of projects to challenge herself and others to include the North-South traverse of Mt Elburus (the highest peak in Europe) and leading a group of non-climbers to Mt Kilimanjaro’s Uhuru peak.
