Jessica Biel is going to get as high as one can in Africa. The “7th Heaven” star will try to go above the clouds and reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania – Africa’s highest peak.

Her 19,343-foot trek to the top is to raise awareness about the need for clean water. The actress is slated to be part of the “Summit on the Summit Expedition,” which begins in January. She’ll be joined by “Transformers” star Isabel Lucas, Lupe Fiasco, and quite possibly boyfriend Justin Timberlake. Actually, Gossip Cop knows that there’s a good chance Timberlake will join Biel on the charity climb because we spoke to his rep a month ago about climbing Kilimanjaro, which we also did last year for charity.

In a statement, Biel talked about her desire to climb Kilimanjaro and the approximately one billion people around the world who don’t have clean water. Biel said, “This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now,” adding that she’s climbing Kilimanjaro “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.”

Gossip Cop wishes her the best.
