Story

<p>Thank you&nbsp;for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I have now complete my challenge and reached the top of Kilimanjaro. I never really appreciated just how hard this climb was going to be not only the physical challenge but &nbsp;the mental challenge. I would like to thank everyone in my group for the support they gave and special thanks to all those at Ahsante Tours who supplied the backup team for this climb from the Guides, assistant Guides, Cooks and porters without these guys nobody would make it, they are amazing people and have my full respect.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + ++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +&nbsp;</p> <p>Many of you will know that my Daughter Sarah had Meningitis Septicemia&nbsp;at the age of 15, we thought we were going to loose her&nbsp;but thanks to the staff at Portsmouth Hospital she survived to be No 1 in the world of Yngling Sailing and Double Olympic Gold Medalist. I now feel it is time for me to&nbsp;give back something in celebration of her life and to help raise funds for the 'Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign' which aims to raise &pound;7million for research and hopefully&nbsp;stop the six families every week having to suffer the tragedy of losing a loved one to this devastating disease.</p> <p>Please dig deep it could&nbsp;be your Child, Grandchild you are helping to save</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Coleen</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>It is the 11h January and we fly to Tanzania in 6 days. Too late to change my mind fly out of Heathrow tomorrow 12th</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">So please dig deep and donate now.</span></strong></p> <p>P.S.</p> <p>I have just started my training, have a fitness trainer at the gym, Completed two hikes 6 and 8 &nbsp;miles, going to climb Snowdon on 24th September and going to Solvinia 3rd October for a week or mountain climbing. Photos will be added after these events. OMG completed the longest hike so far on Sunday 12.1 miles in just over 4 hours it was a killer</p> <p>OMG just spent weekend in Snowdonia climbed Tryfan and Snowdon it was a killer but at least I know what needs to be done in the next three months to get me ready for the Big Climb.</p>
