My story

UPDATE

The climb was completed last week. We would like to thank everyone for donating - knowing that so much faith had been put into this project was a massive incentive. Thank you so much! Please continue to donate to this wonderful cause...

I am climbing Mount Kilimanjaro at the end of February 2012 to raise funds for Headway East London with my good friend Saul Fabian (all monies raised will be going direct to Headway East London).

About the climb:

The climb will take 7 days to the 5,895 metre summit. Summit day is the most demanding portion of the climb, typically involving 8 hours for the ascent and 6-7 hours for the descent. The altitude and low temperature make this a difficult and dangerous trek. Acclimatisation is essential,most people suffer some degree of altitude sickness. All climbers suffer considerable discomfort, typically shortage of breath, hypothermia and headaches. About 10 climbers die from complications of some sort or another each year. Brain injury is one of a multitude of risks they will face, as the summit is well above the altitude at which high altitude cerebral odema (HACE) can occur. 

About Headway East London:

In 1997, a collection of people directly affected by acquired brain injury (ABI) and professionals working in neurological rehabilitation, identified an absence of long-term support for people with ABI in Hackney and the surrounding area. In an attempt to provide support to those in the local community, Headway East London was born.
