Story

Exciting news! We plan to tackle Africa's highest peak with the expert help of The Kilimanjaro Climbing Company. We are looking for as many people to join us on this trip as possible with 10 people already committed. The dates of the trip are 13-22 October 2018. If you think you might be interested, you can find out about the dates, costings and what the trip will entail by clicking on the following link that will take you to the dedicated page for our trip on The Kilimanjaro Climbing Company's website.Whether you think you can raise £100 or £100,000, we would love you to be part of what we hope will not only be a great fundraising event for the charity but also help raise awareness of the conservation issues we are trying to address.

Simon Ashton, the founder of The Kilimanjaro Climbing Company has very generously agreed to donate a generous proportion of the profits that his company makes from the trip to Born to Fly, so, even by just coming on the trip, you will be helping us! Just as importantly, this will be a fanatic personal challenge and a whole heap of fun for everyone who comes along. If you don't fancy coming along then any support you can give to the fundraising would be very much appreciated. As ever, we can guarantee that 100% of funds raised will go on supporting our projects with all administrative costs of the charity borne by the Gower family.
