Story

<p>I MADE IT........................thank you to everyone who went with me in spirit and supported my charity.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp; One of my life goals is to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and&nbsp;watch the sun rise&nbsp;from the Roof of Africa.&nbsp; The talking and dreaming has stopped and I have now made my plans!</p> <p>I&nbsp;leave for&nbsp;Tanzania on 24 September and will reach the summit of Kilimanjaro,&nbsp;standing at 19,340 feet&nbsp;(5,895 metres),&nbsp;on Monday 03 October.</p> <p>So, why not come with me in spirit by donating to the Sussex Air Ambulance Appeal? The cost of providing the service is&nbsp;&pound;1.7 million per annum and it is entirely funded by donations and fund-raising - it's a&nbsp;really worthy cause having flown 353 missions so far this year alone.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly&nbsp;to The Sussex Air Ambulance&nbsp;and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate&nbsp;- watch out for the photos on my return!</p>
