Thanks for taking the time to visit Tilly's JustGiving page.
On the 19 and 20 of March, Tilly’s will be attempting to climb the three highest peaks in the world in a mere 20 hours. The aim of the climb is to raise money for Footsteps and the Sub-Saharan Children's Hope Trust (www.subsaharanchildrenshope.org). We will be climbing the combined height of Everest, K2 and Kanchenjunga and this epic Himalayan assault will be achieved by climbing up the Tilly’s main staircase repeatedly in a continuous relay. The total height is 26,047 metres, which equates to 2236 times up the six flights of stairs! This will be shared amongst the boys working in shifts and I’m sure that, as well as raising money, this will provide a good team-building experience for the House.
Both of these charities are close to our hearts: Footsteps is the Tilly’s House charity, supporting communities in Kenya and some of our U6th are going to Kenya with Footsteps next year. The Sub-Saharan Children's Hope Trust is run by Mr Henry Chitsenga and African Children's Fund to support orphans in Zimbabwe. With £4000 we could dig a “Tilly’s Borehole” to supply Mt Dangare Primary School (in Zimbabwe) and the community around it with clean fresh water and water to irrigate their school vegetable garden. A further £3000 would build a new classroom in Kenya. There will be prizes for the top fund-raiser and highest climbers.
Thank you for your support and hopefully we will see some of you on the 20 of March as our boys summit on Kanchenjunga mid-way through the afternoon
