Two mighty men in peak physical condition(!?), Kieron ‘One Lung’ Young and Jimmy ‘Real Deal’ Beale are embarking on a journey which will take them 19,330 feet up the tallest free standing mountain in the world…….Mount Kilimanjaro.
We are doing this Challenge in aid of the Cure Parkinson’s Trust, or as they are more hilariously known, Movers and Shakers (no joke!).
For those who don’t know, Jimmy’s Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson two years ago and he has witnessed first hand the crippling effects it has on the control of his muscles.
Anyone who knows Mick, probably through football, knows that he is a very active man and this disease has been really debilitating. He is no longer able to referee, (some of you may be happy about that!) which he loved.
So, if you do know Mick, you will know what a great bloke he is and how much he would appreciate your generosity.
If you don’t know Mick and are just mates with us please help out the charity anyway, if you can, we know these are difficult times but it really is for a good cause.
Movers and Shakers are dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's, which even though Jimmy's Dad may not benefit from, others will.
There will also be a Facebook group, that you will have already recieved an invite to.
You can either support or discourage us in our training and eventual climb. All comments are welcome at Kilimanjaro Kids!
We'll be updating this page with pics and comments of our trips around UK peaks as we prepare for the big one, so bookmark us and take a look once in a while (probably at some photos of us passed out half way up a hill)!
Thank you so much for your support!
