Story

<p>So at the age of 44, I am going to attempt to climb the worlds 4th most prominent mountain and the worlds largest free standing mountain, Kilimanjaro.</p> <p>Its going to be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, but it will be worth it. Why ?</p> <p>Well I am doing it in aid of Build for Africa <a href="http://www.build-africa.org/">http://www.build-africa.org/</a>&nbsp;and the funds raised by not only me but the other 14 people i am going with will build a school for the poverty stricken children in Kenya, the&nbsp;difference this climb and your kind donations will make to these poor children will actually 'change their lives forever' You have the power to make a difference now by donating to this fantastic cause.</p> <p>The biggest killer on the mountain is altitude sickness, I cannot train for this, so will not know until I try to reach the summit if I will actually make it (alive) so please, I am prepared to risk my life for this cause, all i ask is a donation from everyone i know to help me reach the goal and build this school.</p> <p>I know times are tough, we are all in the same position, but a rough estimate, would be if all my friends on Facebook saved simply &pound;1 per week and donated it every week, then I would by August have raised the money needed to build the school.</p> <p>What can you buy for &pound;1 a week ? Not much, but you can change a life!</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
