Tomorrow, our amazing supporter Alexandra Nightingale begins her trek up Mount Kilimanjaro - all to raise funds for IWF 🏔️

Alexandra has already raised almost £9,000. That is incredible!

To put that into perspective, that's enough to fund thousands of hashes, with each one blocking an image of child sexual abuse from ever being uploaded or shared again.

If you'd like to support Alex before she sets off, every pound makes a difference.

Donate to Alex's trek: justgiving.com/page/alexandra-nightingale-kilimanjaro-trek.

Good luck, Alex! We'll be cheering you on every step of the way!
