Kia ora koe!

I adventure, I say yes to spontaneous trips and visit places I probably shouldn't (like say, Tehrir Square right after a revolution) and I do all the fun things. So, I implusively said yes to climbing Kilimanjaro and now I have to go climb a mountain. Apparently it's massive. Something ridiculous like 5895m high.

Just for comparisons sake, Mount Eden is a 196m climb. For those of you in London, the 193 steps at the Covent Garden tube station is approximately a 22 metre climb. Just sayin. It's a big climb.

It would be super awesome if you could support my impulsiveness by donating to the cause - we're helping out some super cute african street kids in Tanzania, a place called Amani's Children Home (amanikids.org).

They do all sorts of ace stuff, like feed the hungry rascals, plaster their knees and give them a safe place to hang out + play soccer, so they don't have to resort to all the grim stuff that happens on the street. Mint, right? 

We (the BV team) are trying to raise £5k. I'm hoping that with your help we'll smash that target. So, while I hate asking, if you're able and inclined to support this insane climb, please donate! Any amount will be much appreciated.

Donate, and if we're facebook friends I'll post something ridiculous and fun to your wall*. Probably personalised, depending on how busy I am. C'mon, you know you want ridiculous stuff posted to your wall.

Also, any advice from peope who climb mountains, or random 'kia kaha!' or 'Sweet as, bro!' messages of encouragement would totes be appreciated. Because I'm climbing a rather large mountain, yo.

Woo!

* Idea ruthlessly stolen from Mischa + his comic sans joke. It got me to donate to his mo, so yeah. I'm hoping it'll work on you, too. Also, if kickstarter has taught us nothing it's that if someone gives you money for a cause, you need to give them something fun and unnecessary back. Cool? Cool.
