In August 2023, I will travel to Georgia where I will trek to Mount Kazbek - lying at 5,054 meters (16,581 ft). It is the third highest peak in the country and the second highest volcanic summit in the Caucasus. According to one of the legends Prometheus as a punishment for having stolen fire from the gods and giving it to mortals was chained to the rock. This rock was Kazbek.

My goal is to raise much needed funds for very deserving charity – Husky Rescue Ireland.

The trip will take approx 9 days to complete. I will face challenges that I have never experienced before such as: high altitude, 14-hour climbing on summiting day, crossing deep crevasses & glaciers. In the next few weeks I intend to get myself into shape to give myself the best chance to summit that mountain and raise funds for my beloved charity.

About Husky Rescue Ireland:

HRI was set up to alleviate the suffering caused to huskies and akitas by irresponsible ownership, abuse and neglect in Ireland. HRI also aims to reduce the social impact of abandoned and un-neutered huskies and akitas in communities around Ireland.

Meeting HRI team and their beautiful dogs helped me cope with loosing my own dog and I couldn’t ask for a better therapy. I’ve had a chance to see many challenges the HRI hard working team need to deal with on a daily basis and that resulted in utter admiration for everything they do. Becoming a foster home for a few of their dogs made me realise how loving and unique these dogs are even though they went through a lot due to no fault of their own. In an ideal world there would be no animal cruelty. In our real world we need to help them as much as we can.

You can contribute by clicking the 'donate' button. I am funding the climb from my own money so every single euro raised here will be going directly to the charity and all donations are processed securely. I'd also be grateful if you could please share this fundraising page with your family and friends. Thanks in advance for your support, I really appreciate it. Keep your fingers crossed.
