New year, new goals, new adventures — and new challenges....

2nd–11th April 2026 sees me taking part in a charity trek in Vietnam, including the climb of Fansipan Mountain, the highest peak in the country. This challenge is in support of Children in Crossfire, a charity that is incredibly close to my heart.

I had the privilege of working directly with Children in Crossfire in 2024 & 2025 - I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in February 2025 to raise funds for their projects in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma. I was able to see first-hand the life-changing work they do with children and families living in extreme poverty. The impact they make is real, lasting, and deeply inspiring — and it’s why I’m committed to supporting them again this year. The funds raised from this trek will once again go towards Children in Crossfire’s vital projects in Tanzania, helping to improve healthcare, nutrition, education, and protection for vulnerable children.

The dates of this trek hold a very special significance for me. On 10th April 2026, my son Tomás should be turning 20. Tragically, I lost my beloved husband John, my son Tomás, and my daughter Amelia on 20th August 2020. Much of the charity work I do is in their memory, and this trek will be no different.

Climbing Fansipan during the week of my son’s birthday feels like a deeply personal way to honour him — to turn grief into purpose, and to support children and families who need it most. Every step I take on this journey will be for Tomás, for John, for Amelia, and for the children whose lives are being changed through this incredible charity.

If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, you will be helping Children in Crossfire continue their essential work and keep hope alive for so many children. If you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, kindness, and generosity, kind regards Geraldine Mullan
