<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #333399; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #333399; font-size: 11.5pt;">In August 2011 I and three intrepid friends will be scaling the world's tallest free standing mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. We will be completing the trek in aid of our preferred charities. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #333399; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #333399; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #333399; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #333399; font-size: 11.5pt;">It's going to be an arduous 6 day trek at altitude, building up to an attempt on the summit standing at 19,340ft!!! According to our travel provider, 'trekking Kilimanjaro is a seriously tough undertaking, one that is commonly cited as being "more painful than childbirth" ... and that's from women who have done both!' I can't wait!</span></span></p>
