<div><em>Kilimanjaro February 2026 – In Memory of Elemie Rose Wainwright</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In February 2026, Anthony Wainwright, Jamie King, Simon Anderson and Simon Gorman will begin an extraordinary journey — climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, rising an awe-inspiring 5,895 metres above sea level, the highest summit in all of Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world — in loving memory of a little girl whose spirit will forever shine: Elemie Rose Wainwright.

</div>
<div>At just 11 years old, Elemie’s bright, beautiful life was tragically cut short in a road traffic accident. In that single, heartbreaking moment, the world lost a light that can never be replaced.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Born on 10 July 2013 to Jodie and Anthony, and adored by her big sister Jersie, Elemie filled every day with laughter, warmth, and love. She had an adventurous soul, a fearless curiosity, and a rare gift for finding beauty in the smallest things. Her joy was infectious, her heart pure, and her presence made every day brighter.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, her dad Anthony — together with Jamie, Simon and Simon — will carry that same love and strength as they take on Mount Kilimanjaro: a mountain that stands proud and powerful above the clouds, reaching towards the heavens, just as Elemie’s spirit does.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their climb will carry her memory from home in Sheffield all the way to the summit — a journey that mirrors her boundless energy, her love for adventure, and the way she was always reaching for the sky. Step by step, Elemie’s spirit will rise with them — in the stillness of the morning, in the warmth of the sun, and in every breath they take along the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because this climb is more than a challenge — it’s a promise.
</div>
<div>A promise that Elemie’s light will continue to travel, to shine, and to touch hearts wherever it goes.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The guys are funding themselves for the hike so all money raised will go to charities close to Jodie and Anthony’s hearts — chosen to reflect Elemie’s kindness, her compassion, and the love she gave so freely to everyone she met.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every step up that mountain will be for her — for the little girl whose laughter still echoes, whose love still surrounds them, and whose spirit will never stop finding new horizons to explore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The team will begin their seven-day Mount Kilimanjaro expedition on 4 February 2026, taking on Africa’s highest peak. A dedicated Facebook page has set up where you can follow their training journey and watch their progress all the way through to the climb itself.
