Climb Mt Kilimanjaro 2025

Physical Challenge

Climb Mt Kilimanjaro 2025

🏔️ Thirteen brave souls are taking on a once-in-a-lifetime challenge: to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, and stand atop the legendary ‘Roof of Africa’.

❤️ But this climb is about more than just altitude—it’s about impact. The team is trekking to raise vital funds for Redkite, helping families tackle the trauma of childhood cancers and supporting kids on their journey through treatment and beyond.

👣 Over 8 days, we’ll ascend from 5,000 to 20,000 feet via the Lemosho Route, known for its stunning beauty and gradual acclimatization. It offers us the best chance to reach the ice-capped summit without falling victim to altitude sickness.

💪 Word spread quickly, and now we’re 13 strong. Spirits are high and we’re determined to join the 80% of trekkers who make it to the top—driven by a cause that’s bigger than ourselves.

Our crew is: Chris Schroor, Tania Schroor, Paul Plasto, Jodie Plasto, Josh Kindred, John Auld, Callum Auld, Ben Justin, Fiona Begg, Peter Aitken, Chris Brown, Andy Fulton & Lachlan Begg.
