Exclusive Mt Kilimanjaro Charity Challenge – October 2014

 Picture this. You are 5,895 metres high, on the roof of Africa, just about to take your final steps on to the summit of the ‘Dark Continent’s highest mountain; the beautiful majestic Mt Kilimanjaro. As you reach the summit, the memories, the struggles and tribulations of the past seven days’ adventure come flooding back and culminate into one euphoric emotion. At that moment, the feeling of achievement and success in reaching your goal is almost overwhelming….YOU FEEL ALIVE!!. For the past seven days, you have experienced an array of emotions as you battled and pushed through new personal physical and mental barriers. Having climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, it is impossible not to be changed by the experience in a positive way – almost going home a new person. During your journey, you have discovered much more about yourself, your personal strengths……and limitations. Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is not just about reaching the summit; it is a journey of self-discovery from the day you make the commitment to do it to the day you return home, the memories and the experience will last a lifetime.

About this adventure

To support Make-A-Wish Australia, adventurers and philanthropists Darren Wise and Shane Pophfer are offering you the opportunity to join this exclusive, fully led from start to finish, charity adventure and life changing experience to Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. Join the team, raise funds and help us make a difference in the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions and enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. There are only 20 positions available on this adventure, so don’t miss your opportunity to be part of the team on this amazing adventure in support of Make-A-Wish Australia.

Make-A-Wish^® Australia – help grant the wishes of children and young people with life threatening medical conditions

Make-A-Wish Australia grants the wishes of seriously-ill children and young people, providing hope, strength and joy when they are needed most. Each year, hundreds of children and teenagers across Australia are affected by life-threatening conditions. Beyond their illness, these children all share a common bond – they all have wishes and hopes for the future. They wish to be doctors and fire-fighters, to go to exotic places or their ancestral homelands. They wish to meet their sports heroes or the world’s most influential business people. Some children wish to have a laptop computer, and others wish for a pet they can share their time and love with. Through the Mt Kilimanjaro Charity Challenge, Peak Potential Charity Adventures will be supporting Make-A-Wish^®by raising funds to make wishes come true for those who need them most. We look forward to sharing the enriching work of Make-A-Wish with you.
