Story

Ascending Aconcagua for REACT’s 10th Anniversary

This year marks a special milestone—the 10th anniversary of REACT Disaster Response, a charity that has transformed countless lives by deploying to the frontlines of disaster relief.

To honour this achievement, I’m embarking on a challenge as monumental as REACT’s impact: ascending Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America, standing at a staggering 6,961 meters.

Why Aconcagua?

Climbing Aconcagua is more than a personal test of endurance; it symbolizes the resilience, courage, and determination REACT embodies. Every step I take up this mountain will reflect the extraordinary commitment of REACT's veteran responders, who risk everything to bring stability and hope to disaster-stricken communities worldwide.

Why REACT?

REACT Disaster Response is no ordinary charity. REACT transforms military expertise into humanitarian action, delivering aid to those who need it most—swiftly, effectively, and with unwavering compassion. From earthquakes in Nepal and Turkey to hurricanes in The Bahamas, REACT has stood on the frontlines of disaster relief for a decade.

The Goal: £10,000 for REACT’s 10th Year

In honor of REACT’s 10th anniversary, I’ve set an ambitious goal: to raise £10,000 to support their life-saving work. Your donations will help train and equip responders, provide critical supplies, and ensure REACT can continue its vital mission for years to come.

£50 could fund essential deployment gear for a responder.

£100 could supply a family with emergency shelter in the aftermath of a disaster.

£500 could cover critical training for a new REACT responder.

Your Role in This Journey

I can’t do this alone. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to this goal. Together, we can make a tangible difference for communities facing the unthinkable. If climbing Aconcagua represents resilience, your support represents the heart and soul of this mission.

Please join me in celebrating REACT’s 10 years of impact by contributing to this campaign. Together, we can honor their work and ensure they’re ready for the next 10 years of service.

Let’s make this climb one that changes lives.

Thank you for your generosity, and I look forward to taking you on this journey with me, step by step, to the summit of Aconcagua!
