Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;">I was ridiculously unfit and a few months ago decided I wanted a challenge, I am now still ridiculously unfit but that challenge is unfortunately nearly upon me. So it appears that in one month's time I will be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">I am not just doing it for personal satisfaction, if I am going to go through with this I want to do it for a good reason and The Kilimatinde Trust really is<span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">The Kilimatinde Trust (est 1997) assists the poorest region (Singida) in Tanzania in education, health and development. It helps some incredible people in a wonderful village really try to make a difference in there area through things like a decent school and hospital. After going to the hospital to see it's maternity work on my elective placement I truly can think of no charity more deserving.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; color: #000000;">I am paying for the trip myself (I dont expect you to pay for my fun) but would appreciate any money you could give to the trust to make this all seem vaguely worth it!&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; color: #000000;">If you are students and can't afford it then no pressure - please just pray Idont collapse due tolackof fitness half way up!</span></p>
