The Big Climb

Good friend Simon Mtuy just returned from the mountain, following an effort to raise awareness of the need to fight the COVID-19 pandemic together. The Big Climb is raising funds to better track and understand the virus, equip health care workers, and to purchase vaccines for equitable distribution on the understanding that ‘no one is safe until everyone is safe’.

Simon is the perfect person to guide this talented, diverse group of 34 climbers up the mountain - including both young leaders, and accomplished all-star leaders. Who else but Simon could assemble such a group and compliment it with amazing ultrarunners Francesca Canepa, Maude Mathys, and Mira Rai* - wow! Also supporting the effort were the good folks at Marangu Hotel, with whom we have worked for nearly 20 years.
