A group of Orangemen has gone on their longest march ever - travelling 70km and climbing almost 5,900 meters in a bid to raise funds children’s cancer charities.
The team of 24 made it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and in the process raised more than £269,000 for Angel Wishes and The Children’s Cancer Unit Charity.
The lads, from Banbridge, Co Down, finally got to climb the Tanzanian peak after an earlier trip to Africa’s tallest peak was put back due to Covid. The months waiting were not wasted, however, with training treks in the Mournes and charity money gathered up for a cause close to the group’s heart.
