Fund Elevate: Making Hiking Adventures Accessible for Everyone

We are a team of passionate young adventurers (ages 17–20) with a dream: to climb Makalu, the fifth-highest mountain in the world. Unlike many of our peers, we don’t want to spend our youth glued to screens—we want to experience the raw beauty of nature and inspire others to do the same.

Despite saving every cent for gear, the rising costs of expeditions have made it difficult to fully fund our journey. That’s why we’re turning to donations and our own hiking clothing brand, Makalu, to make this dream a reality.

At the same time, we don’t just want this to be our journey—we want to create a movement. Too many people miss out on outdoor adventures because of financial barriers. That’s why we created Fund Elevate, a platform where people can:

✅ Join affordable group hikes across Europe

✅ Rent or share hiking gear within the community

✅ Support our journey through donations or by purchasing our Makalu hiking gear

100% of donations and clothing sales go toward funding our expedition and inspiring young people to explore the outdoors. Through videos, photos, and adventure compilations, we aim to motivate others to step outside, embrace nature, and see the world with their own eyes.

Thank you for your support—help us make outdoor adventures accessible to everyone!
