About me

Hi, I’m Felipe and in August 2027 I’ll be setting off from Moshi in Tanzania to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest freestanding mountain in the world.

Why?

My parents took me up my first peak before I was a year old, and I’ve been hiking every year since. I’ve climbed in the UK and Norway, and have organised my own long-distance hikes too.

Now I’ve been given the opportunity to climb one of the world’s great mountains while raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Why Teenage Cancer Trust?

Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity providing specialised care and support for young people with cancer.

They help around 7,000 young people a year by offering specialised nurses, youth workers and hospital units in the NHS. They also run events for young people with cancer to help them regain independence and meet people going through similar experiences.

Why £5,895?

Kili is 5,895 metres high. So for every metre I climb, I’ll be raising £1 towards Teenage Cancer Trust.

Thank you!

Thanks very much for your support. Fundraising is a really important part of this challenge and I really appreciate your help. Together we will hopefully make a difference to the lives of lots of young people.
