InXpress Gives Back: Conquering Kilimanjaro

16th October 2024

InXpress Harrow and Brent gives back from new heights, for a local charity close to their hearts, St. Luke’s Hospice.

 At InXpress, giving back is who we are. And, through our Gives Back fund, we can help franchisees to fundraise for causes which matter to them, personally!

Take, for example, Mitesh Kothari, owner of InXpress Harrow and Brent. He and the ‘Desi Hikers Badminton Club’ have been on a truly awe-inspiring fundraising journey to raise money for a charity close to their hearts. In September, the nine friends from Harrow, conquered Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters) over eight days. As they did, they raised crucial funds for St. Luke’s Hospice, who provide essential palliative and end-of-life care to the Harrow and Brent communities.

St Luke’s Hospice delivers compassionate care to individuals facing terminal illnesses, helping them and their families live with dignity, as they access the kind of care needed to live well and die with dignity in the place of their choice. As a free service, they can only do this, thanks to the generous support from their local community. By sponsoring Mitesh, and his team, InXpress can make a difference  by helping people to find peace in their final days.

Through taking on Mount Kilimanjaro, Mitesh and the ‘Desi Hikers Badminton Club’ raised over £15,000! As Mitesh says, "Reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience. But knowing each step we took would help St. Luke’s Hospice, made it even more meaningful. We’re incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received along the way and hope to continue raising awareness for such an important cause."

We’re proud to support Mitesh, and the Desi Hikers Badminton Club, as they raised money for St Luke’s Hospice, to help support even more families. For more information or to donate to the fundraiser, please visit Mitesh Kothari’s JustGiving page.
