 Weโ€™re in awe of the incredible team of six (and support crew) who recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness and funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia. 

๐ŸŒโœจInitiated by BCNA member Kristal, who dreamed of trekking the Roof of Africa with friends to fundraise, this journey was brought to life with the help of @Inspired Adventures fundraising agency. 

But โ€œtrekkingโ€ doesn't quite cover what this group faced. 

๐Ÿ’ชThe team endured some of the toughest conditions their guides had ever seen. They battled snowstorms, gale-force winds, and altitude sickness, yet they persevered through every hurdle. 

For Kristal, this was deeply personal. With a breast cancer experience of her own, she was joined by her partner, close friends, and teammates who hiked in memory of their mothers.

๐Ÿ‘ฃโค๏ธ โ€˜Trips like these are truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences. They build character and test you in ways that go far beyond the physical โ€“ mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This trek reminded me that I am capable, that I am strong, and that I have a powerful mindset and willpower to face adversity and tough moments.โ€™ - Kristal
