About
Climbing Kilimanjaro has been a lifetime dream that I am finally realising this March. I am joined by my son Ahron and together we will spend 8 days climbing Africa's highest mountain at 5,895m above sea level. We will tackle long days, both high and freezing temperatures and reduced oxgyen levels at high altitude.
We will be raising money for Natasha's Allergy Research Foundation, a charity close to our hearts. Both myself and my daughter Sara have severe food allergies and already the law changes brought about by this charity have made a fundamental difference to us, our family as well as all those living with allergies.
With nearly 3 million adults in the UK with food allergy and up to 8% of children having to make daily life and death decisions about the food they eat, means we all know, love or are someone with a life threatening food allergy.
The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation is a charity dedicated to funding ground-breaking medical research. It is already funding allergy education and training for the next generation of scientists and health care professionals in allergy. Their goal is that research ultimately leads to the prevention and eradication of food allergies altogether. This year, 2022, the Foundation is planning to launch its first major multi-million-pound research project into making a treatment for food allergy available through the NHS. Building on established science and past clinical trials, Natasha’s Foundation are working with the best scientists in five UK University Hospitals to launch a pioneering study to prove the cost effectiveness of a treatment that could help millions of people affected by food allergy. This treatment will dramatically reduce the daily life and death fear of an anaphylactic reaction that allergy sufferers face every day.
Food allergy research costs a lot of money, and every pound means a step closer to a world that is safe for people with food allergies. Starting with a treatment for food allergy and working to eradicate it completely, Natasha’s Foundation is the only charity in the UK dedicated to funding food allergy research with the mission to make allergy history.
We are very excited to be raising funds for NARF to create a world that is safe for allergy sufferers.
Thank you for supporting us. We are funding this climb ourselves and all monies raised will go directly to NARF.
