Jim is climbing Africa’s highest mountain… Kilimanjaro

Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro
In January, I will be flying out to Tanzania to make my attempt to climb to the roof of Africa. At 19,341 feet, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is certainly not going to be easy, especially for a slightly overweight middle aged guy who enjoys the finer things in life! I will be spending eight days on the mountain enduring temperatures ranging from as high as 30 in the rainforest to as low as -40 on the summit.
As part of my adventure, I am raising funds for Chasing Rainbows, an amazing local charity. Chasing Rainbows have supported my daughter and her fiancé through the toughest year of their lives in 2024. Baby loss is something close to my heart after the loss of our first Son, Thomas, on 23rd September 1998. I know only too well the pain that Lauren and Maddie are feeling following the loss of Arabella earlier this year.
If you can support me and the amazing work that Chasing Rainbow’s are doing, I would be eternally grateful.
