A new record has been set in Cape Town. Chaeli Mycroft has ascended the summit of Lion’s Head – with a little help from her friends and supporters.
Local ability activist and winner of the 2011 International Children’s Peace Prize, Chaeli Mycroft, was diagnosed with a rare form of cerebal palsy when she was just eleven months old. Now aged 22, Chaeli is a world-famous activist, consistently breaking stereotypes about her condition by showing the world that nothing can hinder an insatiable spirit despite physical disadvantage – in the past Chaeli has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, been ballroom dancing, participated in marathons and that’s just the beginning of it.

We are thrilled that this was achieved, with Adam Spires releasing a video of the accomplishment for us to follow their journey up:
