Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
On September 29th 2010 I plan to undertake the biggest challenge of my life and will climb Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro is an inactive stratovolcano in north-eastern Tanzania rising 4,600 m from its base, and is additionally the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters providing a dramatic view of the surrounding plains.
We will be climbing the Kilimanjaro, up the Ronga Route and then onto the Peak which stands at 5895 meters.
Each day I will ascend approximately 1000m of the mountain and trek 10kms at altitude.
However, my challenge starts now by raising the money and physically training myself for this very special and difficult task.
This task will be very demanding but also very rewarding, as I will be raising funds for Scotland 1st who support families under stress, protect children from harm and neglect, with an aim to help them recover from abuse and promote their rights and interests.
A donation, however small, will help assist this charity and endangered children. Further details of the charity can be found at: www.children1st.org.com
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children 1st, gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks in advance
Jay.
