About Us

Our team is made up of five young Australians setting out to conquer Kilimanjaro and to challenge the myths behind arthritis.

Our team is:
Matthew Leibowitz, a lawyer who has Ankylosing Spondylitis (a form of arthritis).
Jonathan Shapiro, a finance reporter
Daniel Been, a currency analyst.
Peter Collins, a marketing professional.
Jeremy Unger, an architecture student.

The inspiration for the climb arrived on the peaks of Patagonia when Jeremy, Daniel and Matthew were travelling in early 2006. We decided to combine our desire for life's challenges and adventure and put it towards a great cause, which is close to our hearts.

Being great friends makes us even more excited about the work ahead and the challenge of climbing Kilimanjaro and assisting Arthritis Australia in creating a better future for people with arthritis.
