From our comfortable homes and plush TVs, we watched the start of the refugee crisis in autumn last year. We watched it worsen through the harsh winter and continue through spring. There are still no signs of the situation getting better and we've decided heartbreak and feeling bad isn't going to cut it.

To that end, we're throwing ourselves out of our comfort zones and scaling more than 4,000m in order to raise money for Orphans in Need. I hope you support us in this journey by sponsoring us (words of wisdom and tips on surviving also welcome).

Lots of love, Farhana and Anisa
