Hi, my name is Emma and I've signed up to take on the EU Kilimanjaro 2026 Student Challenge starting on Thursday 20th of August 2026.

I'm raising money to support EU Meningitis Research Foundation, and my goal is to raise €5980. Their aim is to defeat meningitis completely by 2030. Meningitis is a very serious illness that can come on quickly and affect people of any age. Raising money and awareness can help improve treatment, support research, and ultimately save lives. Every donation helps support their vital work and gets me one step closer to my goal.

Over seven days, I’ll be trekking the Machame route to reach the summit at 5,895m. This challenge is not just about pushing myself outside of my comfort zone - it's about making a difference too! Every donation, big or small, will help me reach my target and support EU Meningitis Research Foundation's important work.

Thank you so much for your support, Emma
