Story

She's at it again! I've got a big bucket list of challenges to do and there is nothing better than raising money for charity whilst I'm at it!

Next March, I'll be joining a few of my BB colleagues to trek Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for 1625 Independent People.

1625 Independent People is a charity based in Bristol, that provides housing, support, and advice to young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Their mission is to help these young individuals build independent lives. Please take the time to see the incredible work that they do - https://www.1625ip.co.uk/

Our adventure to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro will take 10 days and climb 5,895 metres. This mountain is not only the highest mountain in Africa, but it is also the highest single free-standing mountain above sea level in the world! (Everest is part of a range instead)

Any donation would be greatly appreciated to not only motivate our team as we train over the next year to take on this incredible challenge, but also and most importantly, to support an amazing charity in empowering young people to overcome the challenges they face and achieve greater independence and stability in their lives. The donations I’m raising will help cover my flights, with the remainder going directly to support the charity’s work.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
