Charity ascents
In July 2020, Akke climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and Mont Blanc, raising £5,000 for Westwood High School in Oldham.[3][4]
In October 2020, Akke climbed Mount Elbrus without acclimatisation in less than 24 hours, five days after recovering from coronavirus. On this ascent he raised money for the Global Relief Trust.[5]
Akke's first attempt to climb Mount Elbrus was in September 2019. The attempt was abandoned due to dangerous weather conditions, however he still raised more than £2500 to build wells in Bangladesh.[6]
