Story

 

Three Countries, Three Mountains, One Day

I will be climbing mainland Britain's three highest mountains within 24 hours. Starting from Fort William in the early evening starting with Ben Nevis (4409 ft) then onto the Lake District to conquer Scafell Pike (3162 ft), and thence to Wales to climb Snowdon (3560 ft).

I have set myself this challenge in order to raise funds for HOMES IN ZIMBABWE. 

Homes in Zimbabwe was established in 2004 to provide funds for the maintenance of Old People's Homes in Zimbabwe. The homes then were in serious need of help on account of the economic decline and high inflation that had completely eroded their financial reserves. Today we have had to divert almost all our resources to supplying food and fuel to safeguard the very lives of the elderly of all races living in residential homes and many still living at home often alone.. The local currency is now worthless removing any buying power from all local pensions, and although food is now available, it is priced in US$'s - a currency out of reach to most pensioners.

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.
