My story

 

After six months of training and fundraising, I finally made it to the top of Kilimanjaro on 29th October. 

To those of you who have already sponsored me, thank you for helping me reach my £10,000 target with two weeks to spare. After a hard slog on the last three or four hours of climbing, around a third of the British Red Cross team that I was part of made it to the summit. It was the generosity of donations and your (mostly!) words of encouragement that kept me going through what was the hardest thing I have ever done. 

For those yet to make a donation, please think about making a difference - it only takes a second.

£10 could train one person in life-saving first aid skills

£25 could help feed a family in need overseas for one month

£50 could provide a family with basic water and sanitation for their whole lifetime

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Red Cross will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks once again for kind your support.

Geoff
