My Story

Kilimanjaro - the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895m above sea level. A colossal task, not for the faint hearted… the Kilimanjaro 6 can do it! This mission started when Lexy decided she wanted to climb Kili as part of her health and fitness regime. She put the challenge out to the rest of us, and five of us put our hands up for the experience. Once we started planning, we realised we had the chance to make this about more than just climbing the mountain, we could give back and raise money for the less fortunate. It's been almost a year since Typhoon Haiyan wreaked havoc in the Philippines. While we've raised funds and donated boxes relief goods before, we know it's not enough. The cities affected are still heavily damaged, and there are still families left homeless. Hence, we've decided to work with Gawad Kalinga (or GK). Gawad Kalinga, translated in English means to “give care”, is a Philippine-based movement whose main strategy is to mobilize and engage all sectors of society to work together in ending poverty. Please dig deep and donate, every little counts! The Kilimanjaro 6
