Climbing Kilimanjaro 2012 · 26 August 2012

Practical Action is an international development organisation that puts ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In August/September of 2012 I shall be summiting Kilimanjaro to raise money for the charity Practical Action. It will be a 6 day trek to summit the mountain which will involve 6-8 hours of tough walking everyday. It takes 5 days to climb the mountain due to the high altitude, and 1 day to decent. I will be climbing up to 19,000ft and fighting the altitude. This will be a very tough challenge and one that I aim to achieve after getting fit that is!!!

For those of you that know me, you will know that I have wanted to do this for a couple of years now. And it makes it 10 times better that i'm doing it for a good cause! 

Practical Action uses technology to challange poverty and work with people all over the globe. Your generous donations will allow practical action to provide sustainable technology to improve the lives of people and further generations. 

Every donation means so much to me, no matter what size it is, and it puts a smile on my face and makes me ever more determined to get up this mountain! 

Your donations will go a long way for Practical Action and for my encouragement to get up the mountain! 

Thanks for reading :)
