Bulgarian Boyan Petrov (February 07, 1973) is attempting K2 this summer, but Boyan’s toughest challenge is the one he faces every day type 1 diabetes. Challenges are something Boyan does not shy away from, and he doesn’t let diabetes control his life. Besides following a personal dream, Boyan’s adventures are meant to prove to the rest of the world that diabetes is an illness that can be controlled and overcome, even in the most extreme environments. “Eli Lilly” - major American pharmaceutical manufacturer, is this year sponsor for his attempt on K2. The expedition is part of the programme to climb the Seven summits. Boyan has climbed McKinley (6195 m), Akoncagua (6959 m), Elbrus (5642 m) and peak Kaufman (in the past – peak Lenin, 7134 m).
