Hi l'm Maisie McCredie and I'll be taking on the huge challenge of climbing Kilimanjaro in 2026!!

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world, at 5,895 m above sea level. The trek takes 6 days and will involve long hiking days and camping every night. This will take a lot of willpower to deal with the physical and mental challenge combined with the changes in altitude.

I will be raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust; a fantastic organisation who support young people age 13-24 battling cancer. Their work and cause is something very close to my heart and doing my bit to support this organisation means a lot to me. Any contributions would be hugely appreciated to help me reach my goal!

TCT Purpose:

We exist because cancer care wasn't made for young people. Without us, a young person diagnosed with cancer today would find themselves lumped together with small children or much older adults.

You only get one chance at being young, and those years shape the person you become. Friendships, mental health, body image, studies, work, relationships and choices about the future are hard enough to navigate - before a cancer diagnosis shatters everything.

We provide the sensitive, individual care and support young people need at the toughest and scariest time they've ever faced - so they can get through cancer, rebuild their life and shape their own future.
