In February 2027, I will be taking on an incredible challenge: a 7-day trek to the summit of Mount Kenya… and I need your help to make it happen.

I am one of 40 GSK and ViiV employees taking on this challenge, representing 19 countries. Together, we aim to raise over £180,000 for our global health partners Save the Children and AMREF Health Africa. Every penny raised will be fully matched by GSK, instantly doubling the impact of every donation you make.

My personal fundraising target is £4,500. To put that into perspective, here is what your support could achieve:

£8 could support a vital malaria vaccination programme for children at risk

£25 can provide safe birth kits for expectant mothers

£50 could purchase water testing kits to ensure clean drinking water for entire communities

£100 can help train young healthcare professionals to support long-term community health

After the climb, I will also have the privilege of visiting AMREF Health Africa programmes on the ground in Kenya, working directly alongside local communities and seeing first-hand where this fundraising makes a difference.

I am incredibly proud to be part of this challenge, and deeply grateful for any support you are able to give. Whether it is the price of a coffee, a phone contract, or a tank of fuel — every contribution goes twice as far thanks to GSK's matched funding.

Please consider donating, monthly or one-off. I am so grateful for all of your support, as are the charities and the people’s lives they impact. Thank you so much. 🙏
