Hey, I’m Alex
In August 2026, with your support, I will be climbing the highest peak in all of Africa: Mount Kilimanjaro. It stands at nearly 6,000 metres, making it the tallest lone mountain on earth. I am undertaking this challenge with the aim of raising £3,390 in support of Amnesty International UK.
Amnesty International is the world's largest grassroots human rights organisation, with over 10 million members worldwide. This means they hold power, power to effectual positive change. Amnesty can put pressure on governments and corporations to force change and mobilise people worldwide to act. Critically, they have investigated and exposed numerous human rights violations worldwide, leading the humanitarian charge against war crimes, abuses of power, and crimes against civil liberties. For example, their work in Palestine, Iran, Afghanistan, or Uganda has been invaluable for exposing and combating these issues. I have linked their website with all the details below:

Here’s how my fundraising will work:
I will raise £3,390 for Amnesty International, and then they cover my expedition costs.
I will run regular fundraising events throughout the year to reach the £3390 target. One of which may have already led you here! Apart from these fundraising events, any donations, no matter the size, will go a long way in supporting the expedition and ultimately the vital work of Amnesty International.
If you believe in courage, compassion, and in climbing for change, please support me on this journey. Together, we can make every step count.
Thank you for the support,
Alex
