HSE Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry and his daughter, Aoife, climbed to the rooftop of Africa to raise funds for the Irish Kidney Association.
“Summit day on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania was achieved with a lot of pushing and encouragement from my daughter, Aoife. Truly a privilege to reach the rooftop of Africa in this wonderful country,” said Dr Henry.
“Thank you to all who have donated to the Irish Kidney Association for which I was fundraising.”
Mount Kilimanjaro is 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level, making it Africa’s highest peak. It is also the world’s highest free-standing mountain, with three volcanic cones—Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira—and covers an area of about 650 square kilometres.
