My story

 

This year I am back on Mount Everest for the 5th time and I am fundraising again for Moving Mountains which is doing so much good work in Kenya and Nepal. We don't get any grants and we don't have any overheads, so we're entirely reliant of wellwishers and public donations.

This time there are three options for helping with all the good work done by this charity:

1) Sponsor me online here to summit Everest and help us help others

2) Take up your own MyEverest Challenge, start your own justgiving page and set yourself a target of a minimum of £500. Then do the challenge at the same time as my summit bid in the third week of May! Let us know your challenge and we will promote it on Everest Post

3) Sponsor one of the four teams of Kenyans who will be climbing Mt Kenya at the same time as I am attempting the summit of Everest! Most of these Kenyans were once street kids and all of them have spent years now running our great operations in their own country, all to help others and to try and change their country. They're all very excited about their Challenge! They will be attempting the longest and most difficult of the routes on Mt Kenya from the Chogoria side and they have to carry all their own gear. Will they beat me to the summit of Everest?

Kelly Kioko & Gilbert Njeru                  Jackton Otieno (OT) & Francis Kioni

Eva Muronji & Rosie Gathirimu          Maurice Odindo and Wyclif Odongo

You can also do your own challenge, and all around the country (and in Kenya), supporters of Moving Mountains will all be doing their thing to raise funds for a charity which is really successful in Kenya and Nepal and has done the right job.

Thanks very much!!
Gavin
