Story

<p>On Monday morning 13 <sup>th</sup> September 2010 at around 6.30am, the&nbsp; Captains Climb team reached the&nbsp;top of Mount Kilimanjaro.&nbsp; Extremely tired, cold but triumphant!&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Unfortunately, due to my&nbsp;battered knees, I wasn't one of them, but I did my bit by getting&nbsp;as far as I did, which was tough!&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus I raised a great amount for the Stepping Stones Appeal which was the main thing.&nbsp; So on that note&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #000000;">I would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who supported me and the Stepping Stones appeal by donating. I would like to say an <strong>extra special 'thank you' to the staff and customers of the Thomas Arms in Llanelli</strong> for raising such a staggering amount of money and for their fantastic support!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">The climb has so far raised a staggering &pound;300,000, which is amazing.</span></p> <p> <p>You can still help by purchasing the Official Captains Climb DVD which is out now priced at just &pound;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;To order your DVD please visit <a href="http://www.velindrefundraising.com/">www.velindrefundraising.com</a> or call 029 2031 6211.&nbsp; Alternatively, some of the&nbsp;Captains will be signing copies of the DVD's, so come along and pick up a copy...the perfect Chrismtas present or stocking filler!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">1st</span><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red; line-height: 150%;"> Dec:</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> The Old Arcade, Cardiff from 7pm</span></span></span></strong> <strong>with Rob Howley &amp; Warren Gatland</strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: red; line-height: 150%;">8<sup>th</sup> Dec:</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> the Duke of Wellington, Cowbridge from 7pm</span></strong></span></span> <strong>with Ieuan Evans &amp; Jonathan Humphreys</strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: red; line-height: 150%;">9<sup>th</sup> Dec</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">: the Yard Bar &amp; Kitchen, Cardiff from 7pm</span></strong></span></span> <strong>with Garin Jenkins and Bob Norster</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </p>
