Me and Leigh-Ann were both going to be travelling to Tanzania to claim kilmanjaro for charity with some other people. Jesy wasn't available to do it and Perrie wasn't able to do it because her doctor advised her not do. Because Perrie has a weaker immune system they say it would be harder for her to do it and the possibility of sickness and death was a lot higher. So we definitely wernt risking it.
Me and Leigh-Ann were both really nervous about it but the bit that scares me the most was the altitude sickness because it just made me feel awful thinking about it. Into of this we had a brits performance 2 days after we were due to arrive back and we could only hope everything would go to plan.
We were all at the airport getting ready to get on the flight. I honestly hated flying so much but only Leigh knew so she helped me stay calm when we took off. You would honestly think I would be used to this because of my job but I still hate taking off. It was a close to 12 hour flight so I was just going to try and go to sleep.

We were about to land so I decided to wake up Jade. She had literally slept since 5 minutes after we took off so I had been occupying myself and talking to the other celebrities doing the comic relief climb with us.
I woke Jade up and she just looked at me shocked when she realised we were already landing.
JT: did really sleep that long
L: Yeah but how your rested so let's go
We got in the car and travelled to the hotel we were staying at before we started the climb up kilmanjaro Tomorrow. I was honestly so nervous and scared about it. I had read loads of stuff obviously before coming however I wish I didn't. there was people saying it's hard but you'll get used to it but there is obviously a chance of death or serious injuries and it scared me.

Me and Leigh were calling Jesy and Perrie before we were going to bed. The time difference was only 3 hours so when we were in bed at 9 they were chilling at 6. Leigh-ann didn't really speak much and I knew it was nerves. We ended the call pretty early and went to bed wanting to get a good rest before we begun. I knew the next week was going to be hard.
The next morning

It was 5am and we were already up and getting ready. We went to where we had to have a talk with some people before they allowed us to climb up the mountain. We all had our bags and were ready to go. It started off fine and we were all just talking and finding more about eachother.
The first day had went really well we all had sore legs and feet and were ready for the night ahead.
The night didn't go as well. Me and Leigh were both fine and hadn't left each others sight the whole time. However we all heard someone being sick last night. I had no clue who it was or what caused it but hoped they were okay.
Day 2
Leigh-Anns Pov
Nothing happened last night. A few people had altitude sickness however we were all supporting eachother through it. I really couldn't be bothered today and had a massive headache and was really unmotivated. I just wanted to go home and sleep in my own bed.
I just couldn't do it. I took some tablets and we continued. Jade stops by me and we just talked about the global awards. We couldn't believe we were going again and we honestly had the best fans.

I knew Leigh-ann was getting herself worked up so we stopped and let everyone pass us and we would catch then up after.
JT: R u alright
L: I can't do it
JT: U can. U can do so much more then you think. 50% of people don't even get to where we r now
L: I suppose
JT: want some strawberry laces
L: haha yeah lets go
The others had just went around the corner so we were only a couple of minutes behind them. They must of knew we were coming because they started chanting for Leigh-Ann it was honestly amazing how much they helped her.
we all knew this wasnt easy and by the end of day 2 I had blisters all over my feet
Day 4
Yesterday was a good day apart from towards the night. I'm pretty sure I have altitude sickness because I've been being sick quite a lot and it's getting harder and harder to breathe. Leigh-ann was there for me and I was just going to have to ride it out.
We set off again and it was honestly one of the hardest times of my life. We all had no energy left but were glad when we found the sign saying we were half way to the top. I had to her reminding myself why I was doing this and it just gives yourself more confidence. I felt better the next night and I was just lay cuddling with Leigh while we both talked about everything.
