Ascend it like Beckham - an article from The Sun newspaper today
DAVID BECKHAM could scale dizzy new heights – by trekking up a MOUNTAIN.
The 33-year-old soccer hero has been asked to join showbiz mate Bono on an expedition up Africa’s highest peak Kilimanjaro.
Despite a busy schedule Becks is “absolutely set” on making the climb after campaigning U2 frontman BONO asked him to help raise funds for children’s charity Unicef.
A source said the ascent of the 19,340ft snow-capped peak was “outside of Becks’ normal comfort zone” – but he was determined to do it.
The source added: “He was a bit uncertain at first but he found out, like many celebrities before him, that Bono can be very persuasive.
“No date has been set as yet because David is very busy with his LA Galaxy commitments.
“There is also the insurance situation to iron out but he is absolutely set on doing it.”
The trek up Kilimanjaro, a volcanic peak in northeast Tanzania, will take six tough days.
Bono, 48, and ex-Man Utd hero Becks could also be joined on the trip by West Ham ’keeper ROBERT GREEN.
Becks is developing a role as a charity figurehead after going to Sierra Leone as a Unicef ambassador in January.
He also helped Bono during Live 8 in 2005, when he took to the stage to introduce Robbie Williams.
Crusader Bono is also involved in his own charity Red, which encourages people to buy gadgets such as iPods with some of the profit going to fighting Aids
