At the beginning of this year I felt like I wanted to combine doing something challenging while raising money for a deserving charity, so I decided to attempt getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro. I have chosen to collect money for BORN FREE as I strongly believe in the work they do.

BORN FREE is a dynamic wildlife charity in action worldwide to save lions, tigers, elephants, gorillas, dolphins, wolves, polar bears and lots more!

Individual animals suffer in appalling captive conditions, while species in the wild are under threat from poachers and habitat destruction.

Every single penny raised will help BORN FREE alleviate suffering, fight exploitation, and promote protection and compassion. So while I'm experiencing the fatigue, cold and altitude sickness on Africas tallest mountain wondering what the bloody hell I'm doing there please make my suffering worthwile by giving to BORN FREE! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Born Free Foundation 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. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.
