Story

Mt Kili Madness is aiming to take cricket to new heights and in the process to raise money for and awareness of some wonderful causes.

Currently the world record for the highest recorded game of cricket stands at 5,100m which took place at Base Camp 2 of Everest. We plan to play at 5,785m which will be a huge physical achievement and will undoubtedly raise much interest, coverage and support. The expedition will set off on Saturday 20th September for a 7 day hike to reach our chosen pitch. The wicket will be laid, the stumps will be set up and the cucumber sandwiches will be cut in preparation for a game of 20/20 in the crater of one of the most magnificent mountains in the world – Mount Kilimanjaro… The victor will be crowned the King of the Mountain the losers – well they will hold their heads in shame – and carry the kit down!

No doubt everyone of us has been affected by cancer in some way or other. 12.7 million people in the world will learn they have cancer this year, and 7.6 million die from the disease. It is estimated that one in three people in the UK alone will be affected by some form of cancer during their lifetime.* Cancer Research UK’s work funds research and expert advice and support for sufferers and their families.
