Family of Everton fan missing on Everest ask "with a heavy heart" for help to get him home
Professor Seamus Lawless slipped during his descent from the top
The family of an Everton fan who is missing on Everest after falling on his descent from the top need help to get him home.
Seamus Lawless was one of a team of four who decided to climb the world's highest mountain for charity.
The 39-year-old professor was pictured during the treacherous climb holding an Everton scarf before the group began their descent later that day.
However according to the Himalayan Times , Seamus fell from an altitude of 8,300 metres during the climb down from the peak.
And sadly, the Toffees fan , has been missing ever since.
Now his heartbroken family have set up a Go Fund Me Page to try and raise funds to locate and bring "beloved Shay" home.
The Go Fund Me Page reads: "It is with an extremely heavy heart that the Lawless family have had to set up this GoFundMe page to ask for donations.
"The insurance company that had provided a policy for Séamus (Shay) are currently not providing assistance with the search and rescue.
"Shay achieved his lifelong dream on the morning of Thursday 15th May when he reached the peak of Mount Everest.
"Tragically, on his descent, Shay fell and has been missing since.
"With the weekend upon us, we, the family of Shay, have been left with no other option but to ask for assistance in raising funds to gather a team of expert Sherpas to locate and bring our beloved Shay home to Ireland.
"Time is of the essence in the search mission and the costs of running this mission are substantial.
"A target of €750,000 has been set on the page and so far donations have reached over €100,000
Seamus, from Bray in Wicklow, had set out on the dangerous mission to, his family said, not only challenge himself but to raise funds for charity.
The post on the just giving page added: "He set out on this incredible journey to summit Mount Everest not only to challenge himself but to raise vital funds on behalf of Barretstown, a charity that provides respite and recreation to children with serious illnesses.
"At this moment in time we have little to no information about what happened on Thursday 16th May, nor do we know the current location of Shay.
"It is our priority to locate him and bring him home and we appreciate all the support that can be offered as we face this hugely challenging situation."
