Kilimanjaro · 3 April 2009

Since its launch in 1988, Red Nose Day has become a British institution. It’s a time when people across the country get together and fundraise at home, school and work to support people living incredibly tough lives, and has raised over £1.3 billion to date.

Story

Hi Guys So we live a life of luxury compared to most of the rest of the world as you already know. If we get diarrhoea we sit on the toilet for a bit feeling sorry for ourselves before we pop an imodium that someone has lovingly nipped to the garage to get for us, a few glasses of much needed clear, beautiful water later and we're pretty good to go, hell maybe we'll even stick an episode of Friends on while chomping on a chocolate bar to cheer ourselves up. If a child in poverty stricken Africa gets Diarrhoea to compliment their Malaria they will probably have to lie in excruciating pain, in their own excrement, literally dying of thirst before they slowly die. It's horrific, but it's true. We can help. I'm climbing Kilimanjaro in July, yes I know I'm a Cheryl Tweedy wannabe but who isn't. The truth is I've wanted to do it for ages and decided it was time to just book it and try and raise some money for charity as well. I'm donating through Comic Relief as every single penny goes directly to help. I'm walking up the Macheme trail on 17th July and will summit Kilimanjaro, at 19,344ft, 8 days later. We'll start in the rainforest and end on the summit in -20 temperatures with winds of up to 80mph. It's gonna be the trip of a lifetime for me and I'm trying to raise a minimum of £1000. Please donate anything, if only a pound, to make this happen. It will take you 2 minutes and if it changes the comfort of 1 human being, it's worth it! Thanks so Much Michelle xxx
