Story

Climbing Kilimanjaro for Aria

The Dillon’s are doing it again; this time with more of us.

It all started with a chance meeting with Aria and her Dad Chris, and then again with the whole family — Chris, Andreea, Oscar and Aria. We knew at that point we couldn’t just walk away without doing something.

We’re climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Aria, who is living with an ultra-rare mitochondrial disease caused by a mutation in the LONP1 gene — a condition that is unique to her.

This started with a coffee shop conversation… and ended with Aria and her Dad coming in right as we spoke about helping her. We took it as a sign. Now we climb. 💜

We’re paying for the climb ourselves so 100% of donations go to life-saving treatment through Just4Children.

So please find the time to share her story and donate where you can ❤️
