Jason Lowe (of Equilibrium) along with his friend Mark Dunn, will be taking on Mount Kilimanjaro. They will be climbing Africa's highest peak (5895m) over 7 days, in aid of four amazing charities.

They are paying for the trip out of their own pockets to ensure that all money raised can go directly to their chosen charities. Each penny raised will be matched by The Equilibrium Foundation, meaning for every £1 donated, the charities will receive £2 (or £2.25 if you're eligible for gift aid)

As you can imagine, this trek will be mentally and physically exhausting, but never ones to shy away from a challenge, they will put every ounce of energy into it. To find out more about their amazing challenge, visit this link.
