£50.00 The purpose of this expedition was to demonstrate that, regardless of individual limitations, incredible things can be achieved if we work together and support one another. The team included seven disabled climbers who were paired up with non-disabled adults to support each other during the climb. All the climbers were raising funds for the Disability Charity Enham (www.enham.org.uk). Over the last 90 years, Enham has helped change thousands of disabled people's lives by seeking to improve equality of opportunity and empowering them to realise their full potential. An exceptional film crew joined the team to record the highs and the lows of their unforgettable experience, with the musical score created by one of the UK’s most sought-after composers. For full film details, please visit www.themountainwithin.com All proceeds and donations on the night will be for the Wopila Charitable Foundation, which underwrote the Enham Kilimanjaro Challenge and the corresponding film. The Wopila Charitable Foundation, an active supporter of microfinance initiatives in the UK and Africa, is dedicated to the economic empowerment of people in the United Kingdom and abroad and committed to helping individuals reach their potential, regardless of race, gender, creed or disability.
