๐๏ธ 6 People, 5,895 metres, and one incredible cause
Weโre 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.
๐โจInitiated 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 โtrekkingโ doesn't quite cover what this group faced.
๐ชThe 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.
๐ฃโค๏ธ โTrips 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
