Having come to the end of my 2 year 'commute' to the desert in August, I decided I need 1 more adventure and so decided that climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, a 7 day expedition (camping, no bathrooms....don't laugh) would be just the ticket. For some reason I decided doing step-aerobics 3 times a week for a few months was all the training I needed and spent the last couple of weeks in London prior to departure eating plenty of food, drinking rather too much red wine and doing absolutely no exercise. At all...I was ready!
Along with it being an incredible personal challenge, I used the endeavour to raise money for charity in memory of my very dear friend Oriska Turner who died 24th April 2000 aged 27 from meningococcal septicaemia (meningitis).
The justgiving blurb: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you all so much for every pound, shilling and pence you donate.
