Rachel Williams - Kilimanjaro Summit Climb raises £6,000!
Brooke supporter Rachel Williams pushed herself to her absolute limits by taking on the challenge of Mount Kilimanjaro. At 5,895m Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes ever to break through the earths crust and reaching the summit (which is higher than Everest base camp) takes 10 gruelling hours of walking per day in high altitude conditions - but Rachel did it and was first from her group to reach the summit!

“Climbing Kilimanjaro was an amazing and fantastic experience, and one which I will never forget!

Summit night, which started at 11pm was particularly tough because of the gradient of the climb, the cold and the altitude, but was worth all the pain when the sun came up and an hour later we hit the summit!!

Many thanks to everyone who helped me prepare for the challenge and for all the kind donations to the charity”

The Brooke would like to say a huge thank you to Rachel but also to best friend Amanda Badnell-Waters who helped to raise these funds and was the inspiration behind the challenge. For more information about Rachel and Amanda's courageous and moving story please download the document to the left.
