The Expedition Objective

Ordinary people.
Extraordinary
heights.

Climb4aCause is a proof of concept — that purpose is more powerful than experience. We're taking 12 first-time climbers to the roof of Africa, united by a cause bigger than the summit.

The World Record

Unfurling History on High.

At the top, we'll unfurl the world's largest flag ever raised on a mountain — a 4,500m² banner representing every person living with Sickle Cell Disease across the continent.
