Two Friends (12 & 10), climb Kilimanjaro to “Fight for the Fatherless”

Two Friends from Tampa, Fl. take on climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for fatherless children.

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, February 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- While most kids are focused on school and sports, two best friends from the Tampa Bay area are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime—climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Asher (12) and Atlas (10), students at Ignite Academy, are taking on the 19,341-foot mountain, not just for the challenge, but to raise $25,000 to support children growing up without fathers.

The boys are Fighting for the Fatherless, through a nonprofit Man Up and Go, which provides mentorship and resources to fatherless children locally and abroad.

“I want to raise money for the fatherless because I have a father who loves me, supports me, and plays with me, and I want other kids to experience that,” said Atlas.

Their journey begins on February 21, and they hope to inspire other kids to step up for causes they believe in.
