Hi, thanks for visiting my page, conscious of the economic conditions and potential sponsor fatigue, I am asking you to support my fund-raiser for this year!

About the Hike

This Christmas I will be undertaking the FOCUS Hike4Life Challenge in Uganda. Hiking for up to 8 hours a day, I will be climbing two mountains: Mount Elgon (4321m) and Mount Kaddam (3068m). Mount Elgon is the 4th highest mountain in Africa and with Kaddam the combined height is 1.5km more than Kilimanjaro. I am undertaking this challenging expedition is in order to raise funds for FOCUS Humanitarian Assistance. All personal costs associated with the trip have been paid for by myself.

About FOCUS

I am raising these funds in support of Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FOCUS). FOCUS is an international group of agencies established in Europe, North America and South Asia to complement the provision of emergency relief, principally in the developing world. It helps people in need reduce their dependence on humanitarian aid and facilitates their transition to sustainable self-reliant, long-term development.

FOCUS’ expertise ranges from providing relief and assistance following landslides, earthquakes, cyclones, floods and disease epidemics. It has also undertaken successful resettlement programmes for displaced families and extended relief and recovery support for communities making the transition to development.

Over the last decade, FOCUS has been working in Afghanistan, East Timor, India, Mozambique, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Zanzibar.
