My name is Rebecca Korda and in late September 2010 myself and four friends are planning to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest freestanding volcano in the world.

We are doing this in order to support the vital work of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). This is an independent humanitarian medical aid organisation, committed to providing medical aid where it is most needed, regardless of race, religion, politics or gender and also to raising awareness of the plight of the people they help.

I know the economic climate at the moment makes giving to charity harder for people, but anything that you could afford would be gratefully recieved. All costs have been covered upfront so be assured that every penny will go straight to the charity to allow them to continue their exceptional work.

If you need any convincing that the work of the MSF is worthy, have alook a their web page - http://www.msf.org.uk/

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

On behalf of myself and my friends and the MSF, I would like to thank you so much for your generosity.
