14 DAY TRIAL // Working out is an important part of her life, as also is always staying healthy. Jessica Biel, former “Seventh Heaven” alum, will now have the chance to put her amazing physical condition to the test, as she has just pledged to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for charity, thus joining other celebrities who have already signed on for the cause, TMZ informs.
The climb comes as part of the Summit on the Summit campaign, which is meant to raise awareness on the life-threatening, clean-water crisis present in Africa and many other countries around the world. By lending herself to the cause and, in doing so, getting media attention to her physical feat, Biel hopes to draw attention to the crisis and motivate people to make a change for the better.
“Jessica Biel and ‘Transformers’ hottie Isabel Lucas have just committed to go to Tanzania to conquer Africa’s highest peak in early January... and of course, it’s all for a good cause. The two are part of a program called Summit on the Summit – an effort to raise awareness for clean water. There’s a rumor that Biel’s BF, Justin Timberlake will also join in on the climb.” TMZ says.
As of now, Timberlake has yet to announce his involvement in the campaign. Nevertheless, several fitness-oriented publications say that he’s been training hard for the same purpose and is only waiting for a while longer before going public, just to make certain he is in the proper physical condition. Whether he’ll be joining Biel on the expedition or if plans of climbing separately are in place is yet to be determined.
“This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now. [I want] to help any way I can in order to raise awareness toward the life-threatening clean-water crisis happening not only in Africa but around the world.” Biel told the media about what prompted her to become involved in the Summit on the Summit cause.
