Firstly I would like to thank you for visiting this page but I would also like to make you aware that I will be raising money for two charities on this challenge, so please visit the other page www.justgiving.com/Ben-Hopkinson if you would like to donate to both. I'm unable to split the money raised so I have to do two pages so please do take the time to visit both pages and not spend all your money on one......Please

I really want to exceed the target I have set as I believe these charities to be very worth while and I want to help support the great work Phil Jefferson has done for the Stroke Association through-out his captains year at Little Hay Golf Club.  The other charity i have chosen is the Macmillan cancer support and I think you are all aware of the wonderful work they do and worth of our support!    I would also like to point out that this is a totally self funded climb and all money donated will go directly to the chosen charity.

On the 7th October 2010 I will begin my journey to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the Trek should take approximately 7 days unless I suffer from the dreaded altitude sickness and have to make an early decent!  I have put in a lot of hard work to accomplish this challenge despite waking up each morning with a new injury but despite this I intend to give it all I have and raise as much money as possible for these excellent charities, so please dig deep.  

On another note If you would also like to contribute to the reconstruction of my body afterwards please feel free to donate any spare change to lets.re-build.ben.com

Thank you all so much.
