So i've decided to jump on the Kilimanjaro band wagon and see what all the fuss is about! The trip will be a once in a lifetime experience for me but will also provide important funding for Scope, a charity who raise money for people with cerebral palsy. At this years Bath Half Marathon, much to my annoyance i had to start right at the back of the field in the orange zone. After i got over my selfish desire for a PB I couldn't help but admire all the people running for charity, dressed as anything from cheerleaders to chickens. I had been thinking for a while that i should raise some money each time i run at an event and that day inspired me. So it starts here. But as well as climbing Kilimanjaro i hope to keep up the charity events by running the New York and London Marathons and realizing a personal dream of climbing a peak over 6000m by trekking to the summit of Aconcagua, Argentina. The highest peak outside the himalayas. I will be contributing £1000 to the Kilimanjaro trek to cover my expenses for the trip so all the money you give will be going straight to the charity. Please give generously or just anything you can afford. Every little helps, but every lots helps more! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
