My story

 

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

On Friday 31st October the magnificent seven, Kate Delmar-Morgan, Ailsa Ferguson, Catherine Black, Kim Belcham, Jono Iles, Niall McBain and Nick Argles, also known as the mountain muppets, are flying out to Tanzania for a late autumn holiday. Conjures up images of cocktails at sunset overlooking the wildlife grazing on the plains of Africa doesn't it? But for us it will be slogging up Mount Kilimanjaro, all 19,340 feet of it. This is no picnic - to reach the summit on the last day of our ascent we have to get up at midnight and trek in sub-zero temperatures for hours to see dawn break from the roof of Africa.

Holiday - what holiday?! So it's going to be a great challenge but hopefully a lot of laughter on the way. We are raising money for  the Alice McCosh trust as Alice was a friend of Kate's. Alice loved natural history, the environment and  East Africa, having been brought up in Uganda, and would no doubt have been a very enthusiastic supporter of our Kilimanjaro trek. For more information on the trust please visit www.thealicemccoshtrust.org.uk

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Alice McCosh 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 us now!
