Impact at Altitude #1: Uncharted Summits (with special guest Anthea Turner)
Climbing for Courage - Kilimanjaro with Kidscape
In this inspiring episode, we’re joined by Luke and Craig from the Uncharted Summits expedition team to kick off an extraordinary journey: a 40-person trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in support of Kidscape, the anti-bullying charity championing young people’s confidence and safety.
Together, we explore the heart behind the climb - the stories, the solidarity, and the sheer scale of this life-changing challenge. Luke and Craig share what it takes to lead such a diverse group to Africa’s highest peak, what the trip entails and why this mission matters.
Then, we’re joined via online link by celebrity guest and fellow trekker Anthea Turner, who’s gearing up for the climb of a lifetime. In a candid conversation, Anthea reflects on:
- What inspired her to take on Kilimanjaro - and why now
- Whether she has personal ties to Tanzania or the region
- The training she’s been doing to prepare for the altitude, terrain, and team spirit
- And whether she thinks this trek will rival the intensity of SAS: Who Dares Wins
It’s a celebration of courage, community, and the power of purpose. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or cheering from home, this episode will leave you uplifted, informed, and ready to follow the journey all the way to the summit.
