Scaling New Heights

Fearless fundraiser Campbell Gunn plans to climb Africa's tallest mountain to raise cash for SCIAF.

Campbell is doing a sponsored trek up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to support our life-saving work across Africa, Asia and latin America.

At over 15,000 feet (4,600 metres) from base to peak, Mount Kilimanjaro is the world's highest freestanding mountain. Campbell will have to overcome freezing temperatures and altitudes sickness in order to reach the summit, which stands 19,341 feet (5,895) above sea level.

It will take him four days to climb to the top, and another two days to make his way back down but Campbell is looking forward to the challenge.

He said: “Every day millions of people live in extreme poverty and do not have enough food to eat. SCIAF works tirelessly to help those most in need. I know the money I raise will help others overcome the more difficult challenges they face.”
