This August, I will be climbing Mount Maglić, the highest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to raise funds for the Widows of Srebrenica.

For us, this climb is a test of resilience.

For the Widows of Srebrenica, resilience has been a way of life. These women lived through one of the darkest moments in modern European history.

They lost husbands, sons, brothers — entire families — in a single week.

And yet, they continue to rebuild their lives with dignity, faith, and unbreakable spirit.

Our preparation, our training, our temporary discomfort… none of it compares to the decades of hardship these women have endured.

We are climbing to honour them. We are climbing to remember them. We are climbing to support them. Every step we take up that mountain represents: A step for a mother who still visits the memorial stones of her sons. A step for a widow who rebuilt her life from nothing. A step for a community that refuses to be silenced by tragedy.

Your donation will go directly towards empowering these women — helping them access support, skills, community, and hope.
