Leavers of 1996 - Tom McFarland Davidson and Tristan Wood recently completed an adventure of a lifetime to raise funds and awareness for Tristan’s wildlife charity “Saving the Survivors” 

The pair, along with 10 other supporters of the charity, set out to conquer Africas tallest peak in November. Enduring every weather condition imaginable,  starting in 30 degrees of African sun, then through downpours of the rainforest and into barren luna-like volcanic desert and finally the snow and ice of the summit! After 4 long days and nights of relentless climbing, they reached the peak! Raising over £20,000 in sponsorship! 

Tristan is a Director of Saving the Survivors, who provide emergency and proactive Veterinary services to Endangered wildlife across Africa, as well as managing and delivering many other wildlife conservation projects. The funds raised from the boys climb will make a massive difference in protecting the planets remaining endangered species.
