Story

On 6th March 2025, I will be joining a team of dedicated individuals on an extraordinary journey - the Trek Kilimanjaro for 1625 Independent People. This incredible challenge aims to raise funds for a local Bristol charity called '1625 Independent Bristol' https://www.1625ip.co.uk/, which is committed to providing young people with safe housing, trusted support, and access to opportunities they deserve.

Our adventure begins at Machame Gate, where we will embark on a ten-day trek towards the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro - the highest free-standing mountain in the world, towering at an astonishing 5,895 meters above sea level. Throughout our journey, we will traverse breath-taking forests, traverse challenging ridges and valleys, and ultimately reach the snow-capped peaks of Africa's majestic roof. This expedition is not without its challenges. We will face sub-zero temperatures and grapple with high altitudes that test our physical and mental endurance. However, it is precisely these obstacles that make this experience so profound and unforgettable.

I am reaching out to you with a humble request for your support. By donating to this page, you can play a vital role in empowering young people in our community who are in need of stable homes and caring mentors. Your contribution will help ensure they have a safe place to live and trusted adults to turn to when they need guidance.

Together, let's make a difference in the lives of these young individuals who deserve every opportunity to thrive. Your generosity will not only impact their present but also shape their future in ways we cannot even imagine.

Join me on this incredible journey by donating today! Your support means the world to me.
