Soooo... here we go again. It's time for this year's challenge, and this time I've decided to go big.

On the 9th October 2025, I will be flying solo to Tanzania to embark on the 7-day Lemosho Trek, attempting to summit Mount Kilimanjaro (which will now forever be known as Mount CALLUManjaro).

Reaching altitudes of 5,895m, Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain above sea level in the world.

I can't work out if I'm more nervous about the camping on the side of a mountain, or the 14 hour trek on summit day... but either way I am SO excited.

Everything else aside, this is an amazing opportunity to raise money for a very important organisation that really does make a difference. 1 in 4 of us struggle with our mental health, but the resources just aren't available and people are not getting the help they so crucially need. Donating to Mind will help increase services, provide information and create campaigns that support those who need it most. No one should have to struggle alone.

Thank you so much in advance- all donations are greatly appreciated.
