MY STORY

Hi, my name's Cris. A couple of years ago, I decided to follow my crazy dream... to climb the highest mountain on each continent (also known as the 7 Summits challenge) from sea level and back to sea level. Every single meter up and down, and on foot.At the start of 2024, after two gruelling months and more than 1400km covered, I climbed Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro, the highest peaks in South America and Africa, sea to sea.In March 2026, I will take my first steps towards the 3rd peak in the project - Everest.This expedition will have me cover 2000km over more than 3 months. Aside from the climb, the whole hike from the Indian Ocean to Everest base camp and back will be unsupported, just me.During my journey, I want to help raise money for the International Rescue Committee (IRC Foundation). A charity that works to help people affected by humanitarian crises survive, recover, and rebuild their lives.As an immigrant from a foreign country, I initially had a hard time when I moved to the UK from Romania, and although that hardship would never compare with the feeling of being torn away from one's country, I empathise with their isolation and struggle. I strongly believe that everyone should be given the best possible chance at succeeding in life.
