Kili, the largest free standing moutain in the world, is 5891.8m at it's highest point. This is higher than Everest Base Camp, which is at 5360m.
Professionals will take up to 2 weeks to reach Everest Base Camp due to acclimatisation, but we're doing it in just 6 days; which will make it
very challenging.
And so it is that we need your help. Not only for added incentive, but to make the most of this summit attempt we've decided that we'd like to do it 4 charity.
We've chosen a South African charity called Amathuba. Please take a look at their website here:
They are all about building homes and creating opportunities for those much, much less fortunate than ourselves.
Personally, we find it astounding and shameful that in our modern times people still live in shacks without basic facilities such as clean running water, electricity or sufficient shelter. It is relatively easy for us to make a big difference in the lives of others.
From their website:
“What if something you did today made that dream come true for a desperate family? Could you spare R500 [approx. £35 or US$50] to pay for a hundred concrete blocks? Or R325 for five bags of cement? Even R100 buys a length of roof sheeting, and R200 is enough for a door frame.”
Anything you can spare can collectively make a big difference.

It’ll certainly give us the kick up to the summit we’ll need when times get tough near the top.
Thanks so much!
