Kilimanjaro Charity Trek

Thu 20 Jan 2022 - Sat 29 Jan 2022

My Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Last year the bar was set with a very challenging open water swim which I successfully completed with E-K Brown. I didn’t understand at the time, but once you start pushing your limits you realise that limits are only there to be challenged! It felt amazing to challenge both my physical and mental ability and at the same time raise money for a very worthwhile charity. Following the swim many asked the question - What next?! 🤔 So after a lot of pondering 3 very slightly mad friends and I have signed up to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for a charity which is very close to my heart - Cancer Research Uk. 2 years ago I lost my amazing dad to cancer. There’s rarely a day goes past when thoughts of Dad don’t come into my mind - taken too soon by this horrible disease. It’s due to this that I have decided to do another fundraising challenge. Dad’s Cancer came at him too quickly to enable him to fight back, but we have friends and family who ARE alive today due to the fantastic work of Cancer Research. Cancer is a cruel disease that needs stopping in its tracks and in memory of a fantastic Dad I am going to be joining up with a few friends to raise money for Cancer Research UK - So on 4th June next year we will all be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for this important charity. Kilimanjaro is the highest free standing mountain in the world and the climb will take us 7 days! We also have a shorter ‘warm up’ Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge (25 miles in 12 hours) booked in for October this year to check that our training is on track. If anyone would like to join me in supporting this vital charity then please donate below. We will also be organising a few charity events over the next 12 months - watch this space.....Together we can fight cancer! ‘Over the last 40 years, cancer survival rates in the UK have doubled. In the 1970s just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive. Our ambition is to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.’ (Cancer Research Uk Stats)
