On April 17th, I will be departing for Tanzania with one objective in mind, to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. I will be taking the Machame Route, a 7 day trek covering an average of 15km per day. The trek will take me (hopefully) to Uhuru peak, standing at 19,340 feet.

ALL COSTS have been paid my myself and any donations will go straight to Save the Children and specifically to projects supporting the growing refugee crisis across the middle east

I appreciate that at this time of year there is a lot of fundraising going on and that many people will be asking for sponsorship, so if it helps you put your hands in your pockets, imagine me lying on the hard floor of a tent in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius..... surely worth some cash.
