On Monday morning 13 ^th September 2010 at around 6.30am, the  Captains Climb team reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.  Extremely tired, cold but triumphant!   

Unfortunately, due to my battered knees, I wasn't one of them, but I did my bit by getting as far as I did, which was tough!  Plus I raised a great amount for the Stepping Stones Appeal which was the main thing.  So on that note I would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who supported me and the Stepping Stones appeal by donating. I would like to say an extra special 'thank you' to the staff and customers of the Thomas Arms in Llanelli for raising such a staggering amount of money and for their fantastic support!

The climb has so far raised a staggering £300,000, which is amazing.

You can still help by purchasing the Official Captains Climb DVD which is out now priced at just £10.  To order your DVD please visit www.velindrefundraising.com or call 029 2031 6211.  Alternatively, some of the Captains will be signing copies of the DVD's, so come along and pick up a copy...the perfect Chrismtas present or stocking filler!
