DREAMS WITH A GOOD CAUSE

Have you ever thought of the how to fulfill one of your biggest dreams of yours by helping others?  

Well, I just had an idea. Wondering what it is? Let me share some details with you.  

My name is Ruslanas Vristiuk.  As 2016 is soon approaching, I would like to celebrate it with agreat accomplishment. My aim is to summit the highest mountain in the world outside the Himalayas  - Aconcagua at 6,962 meters (22837 ft.) SouthAmerica, Argentina. I have already started planning this expedition and so the official date will be Jan 1 - 24,2016.

 The inspiration for this idea has come to me through my climbing experiences. I am a true adventurer and I love nature. Climbing and hiking is my drive. So once I get a chance to go away I get out to the mountains. It inspires me and brings my focus back and then I use it towards greater achievements at work and daily life. I thought it would be nice to share my plan and encourage participation and collaboration.So, I think I need some of your support now to be able to help to others at the same time. Wondering how? 

As part of my work's company (ISG) commitment to community engagement, we have formed a close relationship with our local charity partner St. Mungo's Broadway. The charity provides a bed and support to more than 2,500 people a night who are either homeless or at risk, helping about 25,000 people a year. Christmas is a harsh time for the homeless, lower temperatures and isolation means that this time of year it is even more important to support such a worthy cause

I wanted to share my idea with you and raise awareness about home and people around us. Let’s be together, think of each other and share the warmth with a few more around us. 

Regards,

Russ
