In late 2026, Daniel Eggington (https://danieleggington.com/)will attempt to travel the length of the Congo River — one of the most demanding and least forgiving environments on earth. This is not a symbolic challenge. It involves moving through dense rainforest, extreme humidity, isolation, and areas with little to no infrastructure. It will be physically and mentally relentless. He is doing this to raise funds for East Congo Initiative (https://easterncongo.org/), an organisation supporting communities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Why this matters Eastern Congo has faced decades of instability, yet local organisations continue to build solutions on the ground — supporting communities, creating opportunities, and strengthening resilience. This fundraiser supports that work directly. Why support this challenge He has learned from previous challenges that people don’t respond to comfort — they respond to reality. He has rowed the distance of the Atlantic on a virtual rower 🚣♂️ Cycled from the UK to Spain on a £100 bike Attempted a half marathon carrying 70kg, where he collapsed at mile 12 He has crossed the Darien gap He has canoed the essequibo and rio negro rivers This expedition is the next level of that longer, harder, and far more exposed.
