    Dear All

Just over a year ago I overheard my friend Vanessa talking about considering climbing Kilimanjaro. I wasn't even sure where Kilimanjaro was, but at the time it sounded like something good to focus on. So I showed some interest and now here I am, making an attempt at doing so along with Vanessa and another friend, Paul.

 

We will start the climb on 3rd Sept 2010 and finish it (hopefully successfully) on 9th Sept 2010. We will be climbing with a company called 'Team Kilimanjaro'. We have just climbed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks as part of our training!

 

I thought that I would try and raise some money for charity and at first decided to do it solely for Kirkwood Hospice. However, I feel as I am climbing Africa's highest mountain I should also like to give some money to a charity that supports a project in Africa. I have chosen Margaret Junior School Project (www.margaretjuniorschool-uganda.com).

 

If you would prefer to donate to Kirkwood Hospice, please visit: http://www.justgiving.com/DeniseHampsonisclimbingKilimanjaroforKirkwoodHospice 

I would prefer to have been able to have both charities on one donation page, but sadly this is not possible.

 

I know that so many people fund raise and appreciate it is not always possible to make a donation to everyone, but I hope you will consider these charities as worthwhile causes.

 

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to read this. 

 

Love Denise x
