Battling illness and 90 degree heat in the Sumatra jungle has been the toughest but most rewarding challenge yet for Kall Kwik managing director Nigel Toplis who’s latest charity is expected to raise £10,000.
Every two years Toplis and his colleague Russell Golding undertake an extreme endurance feat in aid of the charity Well Child. So far they have raised over £40,000.
Toplis said: “Falling ill in the jungle wasn’t the best thing to happen but I’m proud that I managed to get back to base camp, recover and then find the strength to get back out there.
It was amazing to be just feet away from orangutans and being able to watch them in their natural habitat.”
WellChild helps sick children and their families throughout the UK as they deal with the consequences of serious illness and complex conditions. The organisation’s mission is to reach as many children and young people as possible through focusing on care, support and research.
