How long you’ve been there? Two years

Why are you climbing Kilimanjaro? I want to give back to Kelly’s Heroes and support them in helping others the way they helped me.

How are you preparing? Taking part in hikes and training in the gym.

What are you least looking forward to? The altitude sickness.

What are you most looking forward to? Giving back to Kelly’s Heroes and achieving something I had never dreamed I would be able to do.

What does Kelly’s Heroes mean to you? Kelly’s Heroes is a charity close to my heart. It’s a charity that I have personally used the services of having suffered with my own mental health a couple of years back. Kelly’s Heroes supported me and provided me with counselling to get through a tough part of my life and come out the other side a much better and stronger person than I have ever been
