WarmCore global director Andy Charlesworth is looking to scale Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for two charities close to the industry.
As well as responding to the call from John Hewitt’s Kelly’s Heroes, 43-year-old Andrew will be climbing for Harry’s Pals, a charity set up by his wife Hayley and named after their eight-year-old son who is severely disabled.
Andy( pictured, with Harry) aims to conquer his fear of heights as well as concerns over altitude sickness to scale the 5,896 metre African summit as part of Kelly’s Heroes’ #kiliclimb challenge in September but he also asked if he could share the money he raised with Harry’s Pals.
Hayley said: “I am so incredibly proud of Andy, in attempting to climb 6,000 meters and that is no mean feat. I am sure that when the going gets tough he will be motivated by the funding he’s received and the difference that this will make to Harry’s Pals and Kelly’s Heroes.”
Harry’s Pals provides free counselling and therapy sessions as well as short breaks to help families across the country who are struggling as they grapple with the emotional, practical, and physical implications of their child’s diagnosis.
Kelly’s Heroes – formerly We Mind & Kelly Matters – was set up by former Glazerite Chairman John Hewitt, to provide mental health support to local communities, in memory of his daughter Kelly who died in 2018.
