Thanks for visiting my fundraising page
My name is Manny, I am 28 years old and work at Anytime Fitness. In my spare time I enjoy all types of sports, biking, running, mountain climbing, photography and art. I also really love getting involved in community work and volunteering.
MY CHALLENGE: KILIMANJARO
In the last few months, I have set my sights on a new project - the #NishkamChallenge Kilimanjaro trek - climbing the largest freestanding mountain in the world. This is not an easy challenge and many ‘fit’ people fail - but I am focussed that I am going to complete this challenge because I want to support a very needy project.
This is the important part - we are trying to save lives of mothers and babies in Kenya. I was shocked and moved when I found out the horrible truth about conditions in Africa.
THE PROBLEM:
Kericho District Hospital is in the heart of the community- it desperately needs new facilities and equipment. I was shocked to learn that babies and mothers die in this hospital as they do not have proper facilities.
WHAT AM I DOING ABOUT IT?
As I mentioned, I am committed to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and am doing LOTS of training to make sure that I successfully complete this challenge.
On the 05/11/2016 - I completed a night trek of Snowdon. I had to deal with conditions as low at -8 degrees Celsius and I have been told be ready for much worse.
Previously, I have done some climbing and have also done some treks. In the coming weeks I am doing MANY more climbs, treks and lots of training.
The second (and very important) part of the challenge to raise money for this needy cause - I need YOU to support me so that we can make a real difference in Africa. Please help me raise much needed funds for this project.
