Seth Troxler is Climbing Kilimanjaro For Brain Cancer Charity

Screen Shot 2016-05-12 at 11.35.51 AM

Seth Troxler is surely no stranger to charity work: he has cooked for the homeless in Amsterdam, deejayed for cancer charity One For The Boys and has even had a dress he wore auctioned off by fabric in London with proceeds going to the homeless.

His latest charitable project, however, is literally taking him to new heights. Today he announced via a Facebook video, which you can view directly below, that he is climbing Kenya’s Kilimanjaro to personally raise $100,000 toward a team goal of $1 million. The proceeds will go to the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, the peak organization for brain cancer research, advocacy and awareness in Australia.

 

 

His Facebook message reads:

“This July I’m climbing Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, to help fight brain cancer. we have set an ambitious team fundraising target of $1 million (my personal target is 100k) but with the help of my 700k followers on social, i truly believe this is achievable. how incredible would it be to use the power of social media to raise such a huge amount for a great cause? so, please, take a minute to share this video, tag your friends, and head to this link to donate if you can. every little truly does help. love seth x

It is amazing to see a pillar of the electronic music community of Seth Troxler’s stature using his outreach and influence to do good in the world. I have personally just contributed to the charity project and hope a lot of you can too!

Good luck on the Kilimanjaro Seth!
