A few lads from Alsager and a good friend have decided to climb Kilimanjaro.

12 Months ago, we decided to implement some adventure into our lives and improve
our health and mental wellbeing at the same time. As always, we don’t do things
by halves and over a few beers we decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro (the
biggest free-standing mountain in the world!). Like everyone, we’ve all
experienced some challenges through life, so we wanted to raise some money for
charities in the process.

We’ve spent the past 8 months training which started with
little walks (to keep us out of the pub) and this progressed onto mountain
walks. Once our knowledge and confidence improved, we tackled ridge edge walks
(and could have died in the process).

We’ve chosen 3 charities which mean a lot to us and by
clicking on the logos for each, you can read about the amazing work they do. If
you don’t have a specific preference, please consider donating to the smaller
local charities whose services rely heavily on charity contributions like
yours.

Thanks to everyone who joins us, and we hope our little
adventure inspires others in the process. #Mountainsforthemind
