Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in August 2010 and with your  kind help I hope to raise funds for ACE Africa (http://www.ace-africa.org/) - please dig deep and support me in this terrifying but exciting endeavour.

Standing at 5,896m, Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes to ever break through the earth's crust and is among the highest freestanding mountains in the world. It is the largest mountain that non-technical climbers can tackle; the altitude and low temperature (dropping to -22 degrees overnight) make this a difficult and dangerous trek. The breathable oxygen at the top is less than half the amount than is common at sea level, and we will cover at least eighty kilometres on nothing but our own two feet over the seven days it will take to reach the top and return!!

In order to be able to take part I need to raise a minimum of £3,800. I hope I can raise much more with everybody's help as I feel that this is a really worthwhile cause! 

ACE Africa will use the money I raise to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS on the lives of the millions of Orphans and Vulnerable Children living in rural communities of East Africa and will use it to offer them a better life, including access to basic amenities and to an education.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: ACE Africa will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Every penny is appreciated and it will really make a difference to many childrens lives.

So please sponsor me now!

Many Thanks for you Support
