On the 23rd of June 2017, I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with my friend Connor McCloskey, with little to no experience of climbing between us!

PLEASE CLICK READ MORE.
I will be paying paying for the trip, however, I am looking for some sponsors to help me raise £1500. The funds raised will go towards a local charity called The KILIMANJARO CHILDREN'S FUND. The charity helps provide essential financial support and assistance to children in need throughout the Kilimanjaro region.
For example:
- £10 provides a months worth of porridge and an evening meal for a child.
- £75 allows a primary school student an opportunity to go to public school by providing annual school fees, uniforms and supplies.
- £150 - £200 provides the same for a secondary school student.
- £500 - £1000 allows a child from an impoverished background the opportunity to attend a boarding school for a whole year, breaking the cycle of poverty. This is especially important for girls fleeing forced early marriage.
The charity has three major projects in; providing medical care, education and homes for orphans. The AIDS epidemic throughout Tanzania left 2,000,000 children without parents, this has had massive effects on the countries population structure, with 55% of the population being under 19 years old. This conveys the importance of aid needed in Tanzania and how we believe the Kilimanjaro Children's fund is the best way to provide this vital aid.

Any donations are greatly appreciated and all proceeds go to this amazing charity that will have such an impact on those less fortunate than ourselves.

Thanks for any donations you can make.... Will post a picture when I make it to the summit (Hopefully)!
