Adam Topping, James Dean, Miriam Payne climbing Kilimanjaro 2025 for DEBRA UK

In October 2025 a team from across the Peninsula Group will be joining DEBRA UK to tackle one of the world's most iconic mountains, Mount Kilimanjaro. This 10 day challenge will see us trekking for around 6-8 hours per day and battling the altitude on the mountain, testing our endurance and fitness as we climb up to reach the final goal - standing on the roof of Africa at the 5895m summit.

We've learned about the work DEBRA does to support those with EB through Peninsula Group's charity partnership. This will be a huge challenge, but it pales in comparison to the daily struggles faced by those living with EB. The pain they endure from something as simple as a touch or a rub of the skin is unimaginable. DEBRA provides essential care, research, and support to improve the quality of life for EB sufferers and their families, and we’re honoured to be supporting such an important cause.

All money raised by us will be match-funded by Peninsula Group, thereby doubling your donations. We have self-funded the trip to cover all costs, which means that every penny donated in sponsorship goes directly to the charity.

Every donation is appreciated and will bring us closer to a world where no one has to suffer from EB. Your support will motivate us with every step. More importantly, it will make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
