Stafford resident Michael Copeland climbed Kilimanjaro while carrying a 30kg cooler.
Copeland had already achieved fame in the past by scaling Britain's three highest mountains with the same unusual load. The choice of Kilimanjaro was due to the accessibility of climbing without special equipment. This is reported by daily.afisha.ru with reference to the BBC.
In addition to his sporting achievements, Copeland also pursued charitable goals. With his “refrigerator” challenge, he wanted to draw attention to the problems of people with mental illness, symbolizing the severity of the burden they face every day.
Copeland himself admits that such challenges help him cope with his own problems.
“I have been setting different goals for myself since I was 15, now they have become part of my personality. Physical challenges were a way for me to overcome my self-doubt. It started in the army, and since then the mood has not left me. I feel my best when I exercise and be with nature,” shares Copeland.
