This July I will be attempting to summit Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania for Water Aid. With a group of 6 other people, I will spend 5 days on Mount Meru to try to acclimatise, followed by 6 days on Kili.

Initally, I was invited along on this trip by a family friend who is doing the challenge as a way of celebrating his 60th birthday. But I figured that as I will be going through hell and back with potential mountain sickness, and reaching heights of around 5,800 meters, I may as well do it for a good cause! With your help I hope to raise £1500, ALL of which will go to Water Aid.

The charity aims to help overcome poverty by enabling the worlds poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. Just £15 can provide one person in Africa or Asia with a lasting supply of safe, clean water and sanitation.

I would really appreciate your support. Any money donated will make a huge difference.

Thank you! Jodie x "
