Former Manchester United player Bryan Robson is leading a team of 23 trekkers to climb Mount Kilimanjaro this week to raise funds for the Manchester United Foundation. The team departed from Manchester Airport on Sunday and will spend the next seven days trekking to the summit of the mountain, which stands at 5,895m above sea level.
The group has already received over £59,000 in donations, with all proceeds going towards the Foundation’s education and community outreach programs. If you want to show your support, you can donate through Just Giving to help underprivileged children in Greater Manchester.
The team will face various terrains during their climb, including rainforests, moorlands, and highland deserts before reaching the arctic zone at the summit. Your support will be crucial in helping them reach their goal.
The trek is not only a physical challenge but also a mental one for the participants. Many of them see it as an opportunity to push themselves while supporting a cause they deeply care about. The sense of fulfillment in knowing they are making a difference in the lives of disadvantaged youth adds an extra layer of meaning to the experience.
One supporter, Paul, shared his admiration for Bryan Robson and his team, recalling a past event at Old Trafford where the trekkers were recognized for their efforts. He emphasized the significance of the cause they are supporting and the impact it can have on the community.
As the team embarks on this challenging journey, they are grateful for the encouragement and backing they have received from supporters like you. Your donations, no matter how small, will make a difference in the lives of children in need in the Greater Manchester area.

Your support can help them reach new heights and make a positive impact on the community. Together, we can all be part of this inspiring journey to support the Reds climbing Kilimanjaro.
