Mountains to Mexico 12 Peak Challenge

Mountains to Mexico 12 Peaks Challenge

12 Peaks / 60 hours / 11,759m (Everest + 3000m) / 38,570ft (Everest + 9000ft)

One of our guiding principles at Gosforth Physio and Wellness is to help others whenever and wherever we can.

My 15 year old son Gabriel is setting out on a journey to spend next Summer (2026) helping people in desperate poverty in Mexico with M10Missions (https://m10missions.org.uk/).and Marden High School. He would like to ask for your help.

Hi, I'm Gabriel Kennedy and I would like to ask for your support and kind donations to help me be able to help people who really need help. Other young volunteers and I will build homes, serve the homeless and help run activities for young children in orphanges.

To help cover the costs of flights, buses, accommodation, food, insurance, house building materials and furniture costs for the families, we must each raise £3000.

To help achieve this goal, I have set myself a seriously hard challenge of climbing the 10 hightest mountains in England plus the highest in Wales and Scotland.

This will be difficult and hard, but not as difficult and hard as the lives of the people I am setting out to help.

To earn your donation properly in what is already a seriously tough challenge for a 15 year old, it has been made much tougher by choosing to climb multiple peaks together! To make it even tougher, I’ll be climbing with my dad and younger brother Ryan!  

This will be difficult and hard, but not as difficult and hard as the lives of the people I am setting out to help.

I will be posting a diary of every climb on my JustGiving page to let everyone know how hard I'm working on my Mountains to Mexico challenge, and how life is when I'm in Mexico working with the team.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and your very kind support.
