This new quest seems to be driven by a need for peace and serenity amidst a difficult period in her life.

A Devastating Loss

Invaluable Experience

Forbes’ experience climbing Kilimanjaro in 2018 will undoubtedly prove valuable for this new challenge. She was part of the Trek4Mandela Expedition, a group that tackled Africa’s highest mountain in Tanzania. The climb marked her 50th birthday and celebrated her first grandchild Kairo Forbes, while raising funds for charity. Together, the climbers raised over R1 million ($70,000) to support charitable organizations focusing on disadvantaged schoolgirls in South Africa.

Determination and Bravery

Forbes’ upcoming venture to Mount Everest’s base camp is a testament to her determination and bravery. Although the exact timeline for this expedition is unclear, Forbes’ resolve to embrace the challenge is unmistakable.

A Lesson in Courage

Lynn Forbes serves as an inspiring example of courage and perseverance in a world fraught with adversity. Her journey from Mount Kilimanjaro’s summit to Mount Everest’s base camp is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the transformative impact of daring to dream big.
