Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #7030a0;">Hello everybody! Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: red;">In August 2012 I, along with 24 other friends from Sheffield Uni, have decided to<span>&nbsp;</span><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-weight: normal;">attempt</span></strong><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong>to climb&nbsp;</span>all 19, 340 feet of the highest free standing mountain in the WORLD,<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Kilimanjaro</strong>. Some of you may be thinking, if Cheryl Cole and the rest of the Comic Relief crew can do it then it must be a doddle... think again. They took the easy route; we're taking the hard one to challenge ourselves even further!<span>&nbsp;</span><span>This obviously means we will all have to be in peak physical condition, so a lot of training will be taking place.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #7030a0;">This incredible personal challenge is all in aid of an amazingly worthwhile cause.<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Dig Deep</strong><span>&nbsp;</span><span>is a registered charity run by student and graduate volunteers, which provides sustainable water supplies to communities in Eastern Africa. The sponsorship raised by completing the epic challenge of climbing Kilimanjaro will fund the next water project. This will save countless lives by providing clean water to thousands of people. This is obviously a fantastic achievement, so please visit the website for more information! It really is an amazing charity and to be able to be a part of the great things they do is brilliant.</span><span>&nbsp;</span><br /> <span>If you would like to find out more about the charity please visit&nbsp;<span style="color: #7030a0;"><a title="Dig Deep" href="http://www.digdeep.org.uk" target="_blank">www.digdeep.org.uk&nbsp;</a></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: red;">Each of us have to raise a minimum of &pound;2500, sounds a crazy amount doesn't it?! But over the next year we will all be working hard fundraising through any way possible, from half marathons to auctioning off the boys! I'll keep you all posted of how the rest of the team and I are getting on.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #7030a0;">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 to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. (So definately tick the Gift Aid box when you donate!!) So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: red;">So please dig deep and donate now, any amount big or small will be very much appreciated!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #7030a0;">Thanks so much</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: red;">Lizzie x</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
