My story

 

Managed by Save the Rhino International, the 3 Peaks 3 Weeks Challenge is an all-female climbing event in which a team of women from around the globe aim to summit three of Africa’s highest peaks in just three weeks to raise money and awareness for the three key issues currently facing the African continent: environment, education, and health. 

The inaugural 3 Peaks 3 Weeks Challenge took place in January 2007, with the second team undertaking the challenge in January 2009.  Through the climbs of Mount Kenya, Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro, the 3 Peaks 3 Weeks team seeks to raise awareness for the peak issues facing Africa and support and encourage grassroots organizations in Kenya and Tanzania that are focused on Africa’s environment, education, and health concerns. It is a community-driven event with all funds raised going directly to organizations focused on these peak issues. 

Hailing from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, all 12 women of the 2010 team are passionate about these issues and supporting sustainable growth in Africa.  As someone who has traveled to the African continent numerous times over the past 3 years as a tourist, student, and volunteer, I was immediately drawn to the 3 Peaks 3 Weeks mission and organization.  The 2010 team will be undertaking the challenge in January 2010 and looks to continue the efforts of the two previous teams, which have raised over AU$500,000 for the 3 Peaks 3 Weeks Challenge.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.  It is also the most efficient way to sponsor the 3 Peaks 3 Weeks Challenge in the UK. A unique aspect of 3 Peaks 3 Weeks is that all of the women pay their own way, so all funds raised through this site go directly to the 3 charities, the Laikipia Wildlife Forum (environment), School of St. Jude (education), and Support for International Change (health) . 

For further information regarding the challenge, please visit www.3peaks3weeks.org.  If you would like to read about the 2009 team's experience, please visit their blog: http://www.3peaks3weeks.org/diary_2009.htm.

Please note that all donations are tax-deductible.  Many thanks in advance for your support!

Both the London and NYC fundraising events were huge successes!  Please check back often or email me (neuhaust@hotmail.com) for upcoming 3 Peaks 3 Weeks events.
