Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page. I have always done my best to continuously challenge myself and what better way to do it than to raise money for an unbelievable charity that has affected so many.

THE CHALLENGE

In 2022 I will be climbing Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. My final destination will be the Uhuru Peak, which stands at 5,895m above sea level!

Only 40% of hikers reach the summit, mostly due to the extreme altitude changes. With my longest hike ever being only 5 hours at a measly 739m elevation, I'll have to prepare well and build up my endurance a lot!

THE CHARITY

The Meningitis Research Foundation aims to research and raise awareness of two serious diseases, Meningitis and Septicaemia. Shockingly, meningitis and neonatal sepsis are the second biggest infectious killer of children under the age of five, affecting more than 5 million people every year! 

They  are responsible for more deaths of children under 5 than malaria, measles, tetanus and AIDS combined.

Meningitis Research Foundations work is providing better access to vaccines, health systems that can diagnose and treat children, and support to survivors of meningitis. 

So let's help them reach their goal to defeat meningitis by 2030!
