Challenges
"Challenges are my favourite part about RAG as they allow you to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, achieving things you never thought you were capable of, and raising money for fantastic causes along the way!"
Make sure to check out our Fundraising Page to see how our challenge teams are doing!
Kilimanjaro Trek
Kilimanjaro- Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most impressive sights in Africa and climbing it is one of the all time great achievements. Rising majestically from the Savannah lands of northern Tanzania, Kilimanjaro soars to a chilling 5,895m high peak (well above the cloud line). It’s the highest mountain in Africa and the largest free-standing mountain in the world. The feeling you get as you climb Kilimanjaro and watch the sun rise over the vast African plains is truly an incredible experience. You'll be supporting the Meningitis Research Foundation, who help save lives across the UK and around the world, by funding research and vaccines and raising awareness of the dangers of Meningitis.
