Why do you want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?
I love nature and hiking. I also want to challenge myself and do something for me now that the children are bigger.
What do you think will be your biggest challenge?
To take it slow and remember to rest/eat enough. I do trail running and orienteering so forest and running in the bush is very familiar to me, but this time I know I don’t need to run 🙂
How are you planning to raise money for UNICEF?
I am thinking of writing a blog/diary about getting ready for both of the climbs. Hopefully that will bring more audience and donations. Also I hope it will help others in the future. I might do a few smaller individual challenges e.g. we are going to Lapland and Norway fjords with my husband to climb a few fells/hills during the summer holiday so planning something around that.
If there was going to be a team playlist for your Kili climb, what three songs would you choose?
David Gates: Suite: Clouds and rain
Stevie Wonder: Ribbon in the sky
Rosalia de Souza: Bossa 31
What luxury item are you planning to bring with you to Kilimanjaro?
Lipstick! There is never enough color in life 🙂
What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Dark 90%
Is there anything you are dreading about the Challenge?
Running out of oxygen!
What part of the Challenge are you looking forward to most?
The sceneries and just the presence of the nature
