<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong>News Update </strong>- At 0835hrs on Thursday 2nd February 2012 I completed the challenege after trekking for 5 days with a final overnight slog for 7.5 hours up a very steep acsent to the crater rim; eventually arriving at the Uhuru Peak, the summit of Kilimanjaro, some 45 minutes later.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>On behalf of Dorothy House Cancer Care and myself I would like to thank all those persons who sponsored the event and helped raise circa £4K for the charity.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>Thank you.</em></span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em></em></span>
<p>"It is time for another adventure"; having taken the trusty Land Rover Discovery across the Atlas Mountains and on into the Sahara, having driven it on a Bosnian Aid convoy I thought is was time for something more physical.</p>
<p>
<p>What better than an attempt on Mount Kilimanjaro [27.02.2012 - 05.02.2012], Tanzania; a 5 day trek to 5895 metres, the highest free standing mountain in the world. I may not arrive at the summit as many never conquer the altitude sickness, however I will do all I can to raise as much money possible for the Dorothy House Hospice Care Charity.</p>
</p>
<p>Thank you to Joanne for assisting in raising money by running the Bristol 10K.</p>
<p>
<p>Large or small donations are all equally appreciated by me and the Dorothy House charity so please donate whatever you feel you can right now; all the monies raised will go direct to the charity.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
