Harrison Newlin of New Canaan is planning quite a hike. The 15-year-old is heading to Africa in July to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Child’s Play, a charity that seeks to improve the lives of children in hospitals around the world. The charity does this by bringing toys and games to the hospitals.
Harrison is accepting donations for the climb. Suggested donations start at $1 per 1,000 feet. The mountain is 19,341 tall.
To donate, you can visit Harrison’s Facebook page at Facebook.com/groups/SevenSummitsChildsPlay; click the “Climbing the Seven Summits for hospitalized children” link. You can also send a check made out to “Child’s Play” to 58 Lantern Ridge Road, New Canaan CT 06840.
