Annabelle Bond

Annabelle Bond

Annabelle Bond (born 1969), is an international adventurer and activist, who came to prominence after climbing the summit of Mount Everest on 15 May 2004, making her the fourth British woman to do so. [http://imgspeakers.com/speaker/Bio.aspx?SpeakerID=212]

In 2005 she became the fastest woman and fourth fastest person to ever climb all Seven Summits, when she climbed them in 360 days. She had also reached the summit of Mount Everest in 2004, becoming the fourth British woman ever to successfully climb the mountain. Her televised climb of Everest portrayed her as the glamourous blonde who brought her lipstick to the summit of Everest [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2094-1880011_2,00.html] .

She has also held the title of second fastest woman to complete the 103 kilometre MacLehose Trail marathon in Hong Kong.

Despite her mountain climbing feats, she devotes much of her time to charity fundraising and heads the Eve Appeal to raise money for Ovarian Cancer. She is one of the few women to have publicly spoken about her ovarian tumor, in a brave attempt to get more women to seek treatment, as well as to raise awareness and increase funding.

She is the daughter of British banker Sir John Bond, former Chairman of HSBC and current Chairman of Vodafone. She has a child with American hedge fund manager Warren Lichtenstein.
