Tomorrow, Joel Hutchinson heads off to take on his biggest challenge yet – climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of Darlington Mind.
Over the past year, Joel has gone above and beyond in his fundraising efforts, taking on a series of demanding walking challenges to raise both vital funds and awareness for mental health. Now he's preparing to summit the highest peak in Africa, standing at an incredible 5,895 metres above sea level.
Everyone at Darlington Mind would like to say a huge thank you to Joel for his dedication, determination and support. We are incredibly grateful that he has chosen to take on this challenge for our charity.
As Joel sets off on this adventure, we'd love our community to help send him off with some encouragement. Please leave a good luck message in the comments and help us wish him every success as he takes on Kilimanjaro! 💙
Good luck, Joel – we're all behind you!
