TWO friends are preparing to climb Africa’s tallest mountain.
Jo Robb, from Mangotsfield, and Kim Dixon, an advanced nurse practitioner at Kingswood Health Centre, will head to Tanzania on February 7 to start a six-day journey up Kilimanjaro, which at 5,895m (19,341ft) is the highest free-standing peak in the world.
They are raising money for the Cameron Williams Foundation, which aims to help men talk about their mental health, and charity Suicide Prevention UK. People can sponsor Jo and Kim via a Gofundme page at tinyurl.com/3s7ra7ch.
