Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

In July this year I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (the tallest mountain in Africa) for Comrades of Children Overseas (COCO), a small charity based in Newcastle, reg, charity no. SC030428. Coco primarily recognises that the future of struggling communities in some of the world's poorest countries, such as Bosnia, Malawi, Tanzania and Liberia, depends so much on the health and education of the children, and so that is what COCO strives to improve through their fundraising. For more info please visit their website www.coco.org.uk I have to raise £2500 for COCO in order to take on the challenge which is a MASSIVE amount so any donations would be greatly appreciated any money that I raise on top of that amount will just mean more for the COCO kids!!

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

Thank you so so much for your contribution. Simon
