Here is the history of the trip, our charities and our current sponsors

In 2019 we planned a trip to Kilimanjaro to raise money for good causes, that were close to the teams hearts. Little did we know that in a few short months, the plans would come to a halt as Covid swept across the planet. Everything stopped, we kept hoping for the change that would allow everything to start again.

Well in 2022, we are proud to share that the Team are finally going, flights are booked, trek company engaged and 3 excited trekers are ready to get going.

This trek above the clouds to the Glaciers on Kilimanjaro will be a celebration of those that we have lost along the way and a journey of discovery to warm our hearts and mark this commitment to raise money for charity each year.
