For Love, Courage & Adventure
Leaving Christmas day, I am taking on the almighty challenge not only to climb 2 mountains in Uganda, Mount Elgon (4321m) & Mount Kaddam (3068m), but also to raise funds £4000 for Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FOCUS) a charity close to my heart.I will be joining a group & together we will hike for up to nine hours a day, at times starting before dawn, to make our way through thick bush, cross small streams and walk through heavily-cropped village fields to get to the peak. What’s going to keep me going during the mentally, physically & emotionally challenging times over Xmas & New Years is that I’m doing this for a cause I really believe in. Focus Humanitarian Assistance helps people whose lives are shattered due to catastrophic natural & man made disasters, like that we see often on the news, reduce their dependence on humanitarian aid & facilitate their transition to sustainable, long term development.

Where your help will make a difference to others less fortunate is by making a donation in giving whatever you can, big or small, whatever the amount is it will make a difference, so please make a donation & some additional incentives for why:
1 - 100% of what is raised goes to cause; I'm paying for my own costs. Time is short; I really need your support on this 2- My birthday’s on 22nd Dec, your present to me would be much appreciated as a donation to Focus.
3 – To motivate me to get my bum off the couch & do this hike at Xmas instead of Xmas sale shopping & watching TV!
You can set me some challenges (within reason) for my training &/or on the trip This is by no means an easy adventure, but an adventure it sure will be. So please dig deep and donate now. In advance i would like to thank you for your kind & generous donation.
Many thanks & best wishes,
Shahira - Feel the fear & do it anyway!
