Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In June 2011, along with 6 frineds, I will be attempting to summit Mt Kilimanjaro.The seven of us will be spending 11 days on the mountain, 8 of them climbing up to the summit at 5895 metres (19340 ft). That's roughly two-thirds the height of Everest!
The challenge will be a tough one, mainly due to the fact that we will climb almost 2000 metres above the "altitude zone", where the air thins and altitude sickness is common.
We are aiming big! - £10,000 collectively betwen us raised for charity....Thats the target. Please help us get there.
We are all raising money for very worthwhile causes. I myself am raising money for 'help for heroes'.
For those unfamiliar with help for heroes here is what they do:
Help for Heroes raises money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of their country. Brave young men and women who risk their lives and jeopardise their own safety in service of their country and fellow countrymen.
I have chosen this charity because I feel that the sacrafices made overseas by personnel in our armed forces and the injuries suffered deserve the best treatment and rehabilitation possible, upon their return.
Help for Heroes strives towards 100% effectiveness – so that for every £1 donated, £1 will go directly to helping wounded Servicemen and women
... So come on, give a little. We can all do more for charity and for those less fortunate than ourselves so here is your chance to do just that - If every person who visits this page donates just £5 we could realise our £10,000 target in no time.
If you dont have £5 to give, or you feel you can give more all donations - whatever size are very gratefully recieved - Thank you
