Hi All,

As some of you might know, I leave this weekend to climb the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro!!  Some quick facts - we will be trekking over 100 miles over 6 days up a mountain that is approx. 5900m above sea-level.  That is roughly 3.5 miles straight up.  This is not just a personal challenge to myself and my intrepid crew of explorers but it is also a fine opportunity to raise some funds for a children's charity that runs a street kids orphanage and a microcredit enterprise loan programme plus vocational training courses to help kids less fortunate, to help themselves, in Africa.

A few facts about Kilimanjaro:

Pls give generously - I promise to have lots of pictures and tales to tell upon my return

Thanks in advance to all...  I really appreciate anything you can give - every cent helps!!
