Help Us Reach New Heights in the Fight Against Leukaemia!

We are a team of four adventurers with a shared goal: to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and raise vital funds for leukaemia research. Our team consists of Kristen Sholto-Douglas, Holly Trenholme, Michelle Ford and Cheré Palmer.

Why This Cause Matters to Us

Leukaemia is a devastating disease that affects thousands of people every year. It is one of the most common cancers in children and adults, with over 10,000 people diagnosed each year in the UK alone. Despite advancements in treatment, leukaemia remains a challenging disease with many complexities.

Our Challenge

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is no small feat. Standing at 5,895 meters, it is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the most challenging treks in the world. But we are determined to reach the summit, knowing that every step we take brings us closer to a world where leukaemia is no longer a life-threatening disease.

Our Goal

We aim to raise £1,500 for leukaemia research. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in the fight against this disease. The funds will go directly to Leukaemia UK, supporting cutting-edge research and innovative treatments that could save lives. Ongoing research helps scientists understand the genetic and molecular changes that cause leukaemia, leading to more precise and personalized treatment options. This understanding also aids in the development of diagnostic tools that can detect leukaemia at its earliest and most treatable stages.

Every breakthrough in leukaemia research brings us one step closer to a world where leukaemia is no longer a death sentence. From new drug discoveries to innovative treatment regimens and advanced diagnostic tools, research is the key to unlocking the potential for a cure. By supporting research, you are contributing to a future where more people survive leukaemia with a better quality of life.
