Stocksbridge duo raise over £35,000 School friends Dan Hart and Calvin Marsland took on the challenge of climbing Africa’s highest mountain in a climb organised by World Expeditions – The African mountain stands at 5,895m (19,341 feet) – and the challenge was completed over six days in June. Dan completed the challenge in memory of his dad, Adrian Hart, and aunty, Alison Hart. Calvin dedicated his challenge to the memory of his mum Kelsey Marsland who lost her battle with cancer in 2015. All the money raised by their fantastic fundraising efforts has been donated to Weston Park Cancer Charity. Dan and Calvin took part in the challenge last month – the ascent up the mountain

took four and half days with the final hours of the climb in darkness, they reached the summit at sunrise in what was an emotional moment for them both. Dan said: “The last few hours before we reached the summit were extremely tough – it was cold and dark and it really was a long hard slog through the unknown. “We had been training hard for this but not experienced anything quite like it before. After all the months of preparation and fundraising it was an incredible feeling to reach the summit.” Calvin added: “We were both incredibly emotional when we reached the top, we felt very close to our loved ones and both shed a few tears – I scattered some of mum’s ashes, so there’s a little bit of Stocksbridge which will always be in Kilimanjaro.” The local community has really got behind Dan and Calvin’s inspirational story and
supported them with their fundraising. Events have been held to support their fundraising and a special Mount Kili Beer was also produced to support the West Park cancer Charity. A special balloon release was held at Fox Valley in Stocksbridge to wish them well when they set off. The winning balloon in this race travelled 74.5 miles to Sunny Scarborough, and was owned by John Raines. A prize has been sent to both the owner and finder of the balloon! The lads returned home to a huge welcome home party in their local pub, to celebrate the success of the past 18 months. Dan added: “We really couldn’t have done this without the support of so many people - friends, family and strangers who have come up to us and wanted to help us achieve this target. We’d like to thank them all.”
