Story

For those of you who know us, what we are about to do will not come out as a surprise.
For those of you who don’t know us, we are just a group of 3 guys always looking for new challenges to push ourselves and get out of our comfort zone.

After climbing various mountains (Mount Kenya, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Mont Blanc) and running a few marathons together, we decided that our next stop should include another mountain…but bigger this time! This is the reason why we chose Aconcagua (6962m) , the highest mountain outside the Himalayas, as our next playground.

More recently, we thought that we could make more of our adventure by giving it a purpose that would help others. Looking back in time, several factors played a role in where we are today: our country of origin, social background, hard work, luck & timing, but also our education. As highlighted by the World Children's day on November 20th, we firmly believe that it is crucial to provide the chance to all kids around the world to fulfill their potential and live their rights. Considering this, we thought that it would make sense to combine both. Education is one of the most fundamental rights of any human being but one for which, still in 2017, inequalities are high.

Today, we are calling you to support us in our venture by donating to UNICEF and ensuring that education programs all across the globe are implemented, helping kids to have an equal chance to access education, in due and with the right quality.
