Kilimanjaro 2023 · 14 September 2023 to 24 September 2023 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In the summer
of 2018, I met my friend and her kids at a trampoline centre, little did I know
that by the time we left, I would have signed myself up to climb Kilimanjaro!
However, this is what she persuaded me to do. I thought why not? 4 years later
due to Covid we are finally ready to begin our training in the New Year ready
to climb September 2023.
I have always
enjoyed travelling and thought I should do something big before my 50th.
Choosing to climb the tallest free-standing mountain in the world whilst
fundraising for an amazing charity at the same time certainly meets my
expectation. CHAS is the charity we have chosen. Working with young children
for nearly 30 years now, and having my own 2 children, made it a no brainer to
support this amazing charity.
For almost thirty years CHAS has been offering a
full family support service for babies, children and young people with
life-shortening conditions. This includes palliative care, family respite and
support – through their hospices, homecare services and hospital presence.
Knowing that your child is going to die before you
do is the unthinkable reality that thousands of families across Scotland have
to cope with every day. CHAS is dedicated to supporting every single member of
these families. They are committed to making sure that no matter how short
their time together may be, it is a time filled with happiness and fun. With
your support, they can reach more families as they face the toughest challenge
of their lives.
Please help me to reach my target and over come my
fear of bugs as I take on this challenge.
Thank you
Jennifer
