Fundraising for Noah's Ark Children's Hospice
Story
THE CHALLENGE COMPLETED
On Wednesday 23rd June 2010 at 10:15am Dips (middle), Mehul (right) and Pratik (left) sucessfully conquered Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania by reaching the summit 'Uhuru' at 5,895m (19,335 ft).
Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the world’s highest free-standing mountain. The climb required a strong frame of mind to be able to handle sub-zero temperatures, tremendous motivation and months of training to obtain a good level of physical fitness.
THE CAUSE
Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice support life-limited children and their families in North London. These children do not have the gift of time. They have a whole spectrum of conditions (the majority being progressive, genetic disorders) and therefore have a whole range of needs. Noah’s Ark provides respite care in the families’ homes with a play specialist, nursery nurse, youth and play specialist and family support volunteers. The children benefit from a positive play experience and their parents by the break from caring responsibilities. For more information please visit www.noahsarkhospice.org.uk YOUR SUPPORT Come aboard and sponsor us to raise funds for Noah’s Ark. EVERY PENNY RAISED WILL BE DONATED TO NOAH'S ARK AND WILL NOT COVER ANY EXPENSES TOWARDS THE CLIMB, SO PLEASE DIG DEEP. The charity receives no funding from the government and your donation would go towards providing the urgently needed help for these children and their families. Thank you for helping us ‘REACH THE TOP'.Don’t forget to gift aid your donation; the government contributes an additional 28% of your donation at no extra cost to you if you are a UK tax payer.
