British Exploring Society Fundraiser, Georgia 2024

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Kristian, and this summer I will be joining a small group of other young people on a month-long expedition of a lifetime! I'm helping fundraise for a trip to the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia with the British Exploring Society. As well as benefiting the local area through practical environmental projects, there is a huge emphasis on personal development as we will be learning and practising leadership and survival skills in the outdoors, under new and very challenging circumstances.

The British Exploring Society was founded in 1932 by George Murray Levick, inspired by his expedition to the Antarctic with Captain Scott, and it has evolved to what it is today - an amazing organisation that changes the lives of young people from all backgrounds and financial circumstances. It won't be an easy month in the wilderness, but after intense and expert training, my fellow explorers and I will be exposed to the kind of challenges and opportunities that will develop the skills, resilience and determination that will set us up for life.

What am I doing to fundraise…..? I am going to be running 5000 metres (the height of the highest mountain in Georgia) every day in June! I intend to work hard for any money I can raise, as well as making sure I’m fit and ready for the physical demands of the expedition.

I am really looking forward to the trip and would be very grateful for any donations, large or small. With your support the British Exploring Society can continue to offer these life-changing experiences, with the positive environmental benefits they bring. Thank you very much.
