This weekend, I celebrate my birthday and one year since I began fundraising to eradicate #malaria.

In the past year, I climbed the 14,690-ft Matterhorn and drove my motorbike 5,000km from London to the Sahara. Both undertakings were challenging, memorable, and rewarding. Thanks to those who sponsored me, I've now raised over $100,000.

As I look to the year ahead, my determination to continue this fight to eradicate malaria in memory of my sister Else is as firm as ever. And it can be done (https://t.co/1oZXIsIT1o).

The impact of malaria, especially on children under five years old in Sub-Saharan Africa, is acute. Please help me spread the word.

Mint will be shutting down on January 1st. What should Mint users do?

Here are some thoughts on the situation and suggestions from our CEO, who was also the first product manager at Mint.

Done! Started in darkness at 4.45 a.m. with headlamps, and the climb took 7 hrs 40 mins. I am not embarrassed to admit it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Considered turning around many times, but thoughts of this campaign, my family, and my dad, kept me going. It felt like a battle of the mind and the lungs.

The day was not without incident -- one climber had to be evacuated by helicopter (which also happened the day before). And while I’m never making a climb like this ever (ever) again, I feel that I’m only just getting started with regards to malaria. I’m more motivated than ever. My sincerest thanks to everyone who has supported the malaria initiative so far. Your kind messages mean the world to me.

Early start 4 AM tomorrow! My climb up the Matterhorn to raise funds to #endmalaria is here. I’ve checked my kit and checked again and, fuelled by sugar and all the messages of good cheer I’ve received from everyone, I’m excited to be off. Join me: https://t.co/okkrdDjZID
Tomorrow is a special day in another way too — it’s the one-year anniversary of my father’s passing — an event that first prompted my journey back to Angola to find my sister's grave. Much to think about as I climb tomorrow.
Thank you again to everyone who has donated so far. @PSIimpact

Some news — next week, I’m climbing 4,478M (14,692 ft) to continue fundraising in memory of my sister Else, up the North Face Hörnli ridge of the Matterhorn!

I’ve been so touched by everyone who has supported me so far in raising money for a cause that’s very close to my heart. With JustGiving and direct contributions, we have already raised over $70,000 and I deeply thank everyone who has contributed and spread the word. We need to create awareness.

Read the story behind why I’ve undertaken this initiative, and look out for climb updates next week. https://t.co/okkrdDjZID
