Progress report
The story so far
On 10 June 2019, Head of Dispute Resolution, Qaiser Khanzada, departed from London with six others (of whom he only knows one) to try and climb the 4,900 metres to reach the peak of the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest free-standing mountain at 5,895 metres above sea level. If successful, he hopes to accomplish this in just seven days.
Qaiser is bearing all his own expenses so that all the money raised benefits Mind.
