In August this year, a team of 13 staff representing a total of 10 European countries where Cushman & Wakefield operates, will set out on a gruelling trek to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa, in support of the firm’s registered charity, Schools Around The World [SATW].
The SATW Kilimanjaro trek is an opportunity for the individual participants to raise awareness and funds for SATW and to further develop relationships with their adopted schools and to progress SATW initiatives within their own countries.
The trek is expected to take approximately 10 days in early August and will take what is known as the ‘Lemosho Glades Route’ which gives a good progressive acclimatisation to the summit height of 5,895 m / 19,340 ft. The trek will be also be led by British climber, Rhys Jones who reached the summit of Mount Everest on his 20th Birthday and claimed a World record as the youngest ‘Seven Summiteer’ (ie summiting the seven highest continental peaks). Rhys climbed with Harry Farthing on his Everest climb in 2006 which he undertook to launch SATW at an international level.
