About this user

In mid-July, 28-year-old Theresa Adams set off on a 3 month, 800 km trek through the remote mountain kingdom of Lesotho, in an effort to raise money for the HIV/AIDS ward of an isolated African Hospital.

Theresa's solo trek (with a packhorse) will take her through some of the most rugged, isolated and physically- challenging landscapes on the planet. Lesotho boasts more mountain peaks per square kilometre than any other country in Africa, and is the only country in the world that lies entirely above 1400m.
Theresa chose to raise money for the HIV/AIDS cause in Lesotho as it is believed to have one of the highest infection rates in the world, with an estimated 29 percent of people aged 15-49 being HIV positive.

Having spent much of her childhood in Lesotho, Theresa is also compelled by the opportunity to contribute what she can to help a community she once called home. Therefore, all money raised will be donated the isolated Tebellong Hospital in eastern Lesotho, where she lived for 3 years, for basic medical supplies and equipment.

To the best of our knowledge, an expedition of this calibre has never before been attempted, and we're excited about having you along for the ride!
