MISSION: KILIMANJARO

Jamin Heppell is organizing this fundraiser to benefit International Mountain Explorers Connection.

Tax deductible

Hey there!

On 13th August 2024, I will be hiking to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro backwards to raise money and awareness for the ethical treatment of porters on the mountain.

My mission is two-fold:

First, I aim to raise USD $50,000 for The Kilimanjaro Responsible Trekking Organization (KRTO) to support their efforts for ethical climbing.

Second, I will attempt to break a Guinness World Record for fastest summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at 19,400 feet of elevation, hiking backwards. The current record is at 72 hours.

I would love your support on this mission!

All donations will be processed through the International Mountain Explorers Connection (IMEC), the parent organization of KRTO and works to ensure fair work practices and ethical treatment of porters around the world.
