My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Many of you will have guessed it has been far too long since my last challenge, so I have decided to stop messing about and climb Mt Kilimanjaro. I may have sailed the Atlantic and completed DofE in my day but this really will be a challenge to me...I manage to get blisters from a mere stroll to the shops in flip flops! But, I am going to do it! I have started my training, well I now walk up the 5 flights of stairs to my flat (ok, when the lift is broken!) and am limiting my alcohol consumption . . .

I have decided to raise money so that the girls of Rugambwa Secondary School can have what we take for granted - a purpose built computer room to learn the skills of Information Technology. Rugambwa teaches some of the brightest girls in Tanzania. They will go on to become leaders in the community, but like us they need to learn how to use computers. A charity has given the school 35 modern computers, but most can’t be used because the school has no computer room. We’ve already got a promise of £1000. Together we can raise the £6500 needed to build the room. Let’s go for it!

Please note: all of your money goes directly to the Tanzania Development Trust. The expedition costs are not funded by your kind donations. Many thanks.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Tanzania Development Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
