Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro this summer to raise awareness and money for Dig Deep! Dig Deep is a charity run by student and graduate volunteers which improves and saves thousands of lives by providing clean water and renewable energy to communities in Eastern Africa. To read more about Dig Deep's work go to: www.digdeep.org.uk 

I care a great deal about developing countries and the people in them. Through my travels and volunteering experiences in Africa I have found some of the most beautiful places on earth and the most amazing people I have ever met! I learned so much from them about life, happiness and even about myself that I knew I wanted to spend my life around these amazing people helping where I can.

As a student living in London I am not able to donate large sums of money and finding the time to volunteer is difficult. This project is therefore an ideal way for me to do more and where I can be sure it is spent directly on a great project that will help a lot of people!

During the next 6 months I along with my Kili mates will arrange many different fundraising events and contact houndreds of people and companies to find those wonderful people who are willing to give a little extra for those who need it.

Two thirds of everything I raise below my target goes directly to Dig Deep and one third will help me get up the mountain! everything I raise above the target goes straight to Dig Deep completely uncut!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now! ;)
