Kelly Donegan admits she thought she was ‘going to die’ during mountain climb

Kelly Donegan has revealed she thought she was “going to die, at least twice” while climbing Kilimanjaro.

The former Tallafornia star made the hike for the Irish Cancer Society, after climbing Machu Picchu last year.

After fundraising for months, Kelly finally went on the trip of a lifetime and reached Uhuru Peak just today.

Taking to her Instagram account to share her triumph, Kelly admitted the climb was extremely difficult.

Against all odds I made it to Uhuru Peak after seven Lond days of hiking and one final push on summit night where I genuinely thought I was going to die at least twice. Machu Picchu was a walk in the park compared to this. The pain was intense but the glory was indescribable. Time to a celebration dinner and drinks and more to come tomorrow. Beyond grateful and honoured to have experienced what I did all in aid of @irishcancersociety
