WHAT'S MY CHALLENGE?

I'm Graeme Quar and I'm gearing up to climb the third highest mountain in Africa to highlight the inspirational work of a British charity in rural Africa.

My challenge is to ascend to the summit of Mount Stanley - 5,109 m ( 17,763 feet).

The climb is a ten day trek through the Rwenzori Mountians on the Uganda/Congo border through tropical rainforest, peat bogs and across a snow glacier. The trek starts in August.

WHY?

I have supported Send a Cow for over ten years.

Send a Cow has helped over one million impoverished families in eight countries to date.Lives have been turned around because the charity shows local farmers how to improve farming techniques in order to become self sufficient, with surplus food sold to generate income.

I have visited Send a Cow projects in Kenya, Lesotho, Rwanda and last year I travelled to Ethiopia.

Send a Cow first began its work 25 years ago in Uganda and it will be in the Mountains of the Moon that I will raise money to help continue the work for the next 25 years.

The photographs are of the African farmers and their families who proudly showed me their splendid gardens and livestock which demonstrate the success of Send a Cow.

HOW CAN I HELP?

I have paid for the entire trip myself - 100% of all donations goes to Send a Cow.
