Matterhorn limb · 1 August 2014

We have over 10 years of experience of working in the villages of Bodo and Funzi in Kenya where people lack basics like sanitation. We have built schools,medical clinics and brought clean drinking water. We help villagers start businesses to feed their families and end the cycle of poverty.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

Once again I am pushing my skills, limits and endurance to new heights. Having successfully completed the Everest Base Camp Challenge in 2012 and Mont Blanc in 2013; August 2014 will see me tackling the Matterhorn on the border between Switzerland and Italy ; perhaps the most recognizable and dramatic mountain in the Swiss Alps. Its summit is 4,478 meters (14,690 ft) high, making it one of the highest peaks in the Alps. In 2015 and 2016 I will also be taking on Ama Dablan at 6,850 metres in Nepal and finally Everest itself at 8,850 metres.

This is not my only challenge as I continue to chip away at my fundraising target of a total of £150,000 by the end of 2016 for my chosen charity Funzi and Bodo Trust. Please dig deep and support my challenge.

Thank you for your support.
