This new article is about a guy named Daniel Chinn from United Kingdom who climbed Mt. Fuji. The reason he climbed it was for Cancer Research. His mom had breast cancer so he decided to tackle the challenge. Daniel didn't really know much about Japan so he decided to spend a little bit of time there.

Daniel said when his mom had cancer it made him aware of how many people are affected by it. His mom was a physical therapist so it made care about her. She had been remission for couple of years until her cancer came back. Daniel didn't have to think twice about climbing Mt. Fuji cause his mom was loved by everyone.

Motivated by the thought of raising funds for more research into the devastating disease, Daniel hit the gym and decided to take the longest route up the mountain on July 1. Daniel took ten hours to scale it - a hike of 5.8 miles and a vertical ascent of 2,336 metres over seemingly endless fields of lava ash and huge boulders. “It was absolutely amazing to finally make it to the top of the mountain. The sun was just about to dip below the horizon, and standing alone on the highest point in Japan was just an incredible experience.”
