Harley Cunningham Kilimanjaro charity climb

Overview

Harley Cunningham, a 42-year-old mother from Surrey, prepared to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to honor the memory of her son, James, who died from bronchopneumonia. The trek was intended to raise funds for Cruse Bereavement Support, a charity that provided her with counseling.

Cunningham successfully completed the 5,895-metre ascent, exceeding her initial fundraising goal of £3,000 by raising more than £13,000 from over 220 donors. She reported significant physical challenges, including nausea and a seven-hour overnight climb in temperatures as low as minus 15C, but credited her fellow climbers and Tanzanian guides for her success.
