Story

Huge thank you to everyone who has helped me raise so much for such a fantastic cause.

I’m proud to have completed my challenge and reached the summit on 21 September 2023 at 8am.

I took the Lemosho Route, which was incredibly challenging, including scaling the Baranco Wall.

I reached the summit on the sixth day of hiking, having walked overnight in below freezing temperatures.

Ahead of my trip to Tanzania, I’ve pushed  myself to complete various other hiking challenges. These included three 100km Ultra Challenges in 2021, Snowdon summits in September 2022 and two on consecutive days in May 2023. I’ve also completed a string of 50km Ultras from June to August 2023
