Climbing Kili for a Cause
Completing a challenge can be a motivator for friends and community to donate higher amounts of money to the cause of your choosing, and one of the most difficult and motivating challenges is to climb Kilimanjaro.
Mount Kilimanjaro, or Kili as people refer to it, has an elevation of 5,895 meters and is the highest point in Africa. The week-long hike in to high altitudes can be very strenuous, and not everyone can attempt it, but one brave woman who has risen to the challenge is Emma Naglieri.
Emma has been training very hard for her climb, including spending time in an altitude chamber to train her body and mind. Her climb will begin on the 17th of September and Emma has made a mycause campaign page to support a cause she cares a lot about; beyondblue.
Beyondblue is dedicated to creating change to protect everyone's mental health and improve the lives of individuals, families and communities affected by anxiety, depression and suicide. Emma, having experienced some of her own inner turmoil during her life, understands the struggle that affects millions of people in Australia every day and wants to do something to help.
Emma is going to climb Kili to show support for those struggling with mental illness who don’t have a good support network like the one she had when she needed it and is hoping to get lots of donations for her cause.
If you are looking for a challenge and want to climb for a cause, Kilimanjaro is an amazing way to support a charity or person you want to fundraise for. Starting a campaign on mycause.com.au is an easy way to get the word out about your challenge and can help you get sponsored for climbing Kili. Actually climbing Kili is difficult, so raising the money should not be.
