Story

As you all know, I have always had a passion for traveling and adventure. My mum always encouraged me to follow my dreams and climbing Kilimanjaro has always been one of them. I decided to take on my biggest challenge so far, reaching the top of the tallest mountain in Africa, also the highest free standing mountain in the world. 

It will take me 6 days to climb but as challenging as it may sound, it will not be the toughest thing I have had to go through in my life. That came when cancer took my mum aged 57, the loveliest, kindest, bravest lady I have ever met. 

My mum stayed positive and still thought of others right until the end, so today, I want to do something in her memory that could also help others by supporting cancer research, so hopefully no one will have to go through what me and my family went through.
