Climbing for a Cause – Help Us Upgrade the Hydro Pool!

This September, I’ll be taking on the challenge of a lifetime—climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with three amazing friends, all to raise vital funds for my son's SEN school.

Our goal? To help update their hydrotherapy pool, a crucial facility that provides children with special educational needs and disabilities a safe, therapeutic space to develop their strength, confidence, and well-being.

For many of these children, the hydro pool isn’t just a luxury—it’s a lifeline. It helps with mobility, sensory regulation, and relaxation, offering benefits that traditional therapies simply can’t. However, the pool is in desperate need of improvements, and with school budgets stretched thin, we want to step up and make a real difference.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is no easy feat—it's nearly 6,000 meters of gruelling altitude, steep trails, and unpredictable conditions. But every step we take is for these incredible children.

💙 Please donate whatever you can—every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to giving them the hydrotherapy experience they deserve.

Thank you for your kindness and support!
