Hi guys...with your help I'm looking to raise lots of money for Amani.

See video clip (on the left) and website - http://amanikids.org/

It's an amazing organisation that rescues children from the awful perils of life on the streets  and then provides them with a bed, security, medical care, nutritional food, education...but most importantly...the love, care and attention that was so missing from their lives. Amani gives these children a chance at a better life. A life with hope.  

And I hope you find the climbing of Kilimanjaro a worthy challenge for a worthy cause. 

(To all you donors...leaving your address will ensure you receive a nice letter all the way from Africa with a kid's drawing/photo. A welcome relief from the bills and junk mail we normally get through our letterbox each morning!).  


Why do I want to do this?
Well...I've been working out here in Africa for 6 months now and each (clear) day I look up at this beautiful mountain before me. And blessed as I am to be graced with her splendour, I truly feel the mountain keeps winking at me; goading me with her cheeky, wry taunts.

“Climb me”...she says, “climb me if you’re man enough! Mount my summit and touch my peaks”.

Now before this turns into some pseudo-erotic Mills & Boon-style love encounter, I thought I would let you know that I’ve decided to cave-in to the mistresses’ commands and climb the bloody thing!!

Considering I mangled the ligaments in my ankle a couple of months ago, this is probably against all better judgment.

But hey-ho...we only live once.



If you feel you could give a little...it would mean a whole lot.

Thank you.
Hips.
