Climbing Peak Lenin for a Cause: Niall Cribben’s Inspiring Journey
In just over two months, Niall Cribben Managing Director Kroll, will embark on a journey that will test him like never before. He will be climbing Peak Lenin, a towering giant that rises on the border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. This challenge is more than just a physical feat; it’s a deeply personal mission, one that will push him to his limits, both mentally and physically.
As one of our Prestige Patrons, Kroll have been committed to improving educational outcomes for young people in disadvantaged settings. Niall himself, is not just a passionate adventurer; he is also a dedicated individual patron of basis.point.
Over the years, his involvement with basis.point has been marked by his commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
But beyond the mountain, Niall’s purpose is far greater. In memory of his late sister, a generous and caring young lady who always sought to help those less fortunate and passionately cared for the homeless throughout her time. Niall has set a target of raising €50,000.
Monies raised will be shared equally between basis.point and Focus Ireland, two charities that support the educational and shelter needs of the underserved homeless individuals and families, and other young people experiencing disadvantage. These are two vital causes close to his heart.
Every contribution will make a difference to those most vulnerable in our society and assist in making real, concrete, positive change.
