Dear all,
This summer through an organisation called ‘Childreach International’ (http://www.childreach.org.uk/) I will be climbing Kilimanjaro with a group of 30 students from Uni (Nottingham).
This is inevitably a huge task to undergo and means I’ll be climbing 5895m to the peak of the highest freestanding mountain in the world!
Our trip commences around the 19th of June and takes 6 days to climb and descend Kilimanjaro, with a 6 hour trek after 4 days walking, to reach the summit for sunrise.
Whilst a certain percentage of the money raised is used to cover costs of the trip, including flights, transfers and trekking costs, in excess of 50% of the money will be used to help out children in projects run by ‘Childreach International’ in Tanzania.
The target set to fundraise per individual by Childreach is £2,300 plus a £300 donation from each individual.
150 students take part in this trip over the course of the summer raising over £300,000 for Childreach!
Childreach help local people through projects such as; erecting toilet blocks and improving sanitation in primary schools, running vocational training centres and helping offset carbon emissions. Currently only 50% of primary schools in Tanzania have satisfactory, clean sanitation.
Having explained a little about what I’m doing and who I’m raising money for, I now ask that you would consider making a donation to myself and Childreach.
If you choose to donate will be very gratefully received. If you already donate elsewhere or feel unable to donate that’s perfectly understandable, and equally, any good luck wishes will be gratefully received!
Below is a link for my sponsorship page:
Many thanks for taking your time to read this and as said previously, any donations regardless of amount will be most gratefully received.
Really hope this isn't against forum rules (had a read and couldn't see anything).
Sincerely many thanks for reading this, taking you time over it and especially if you choose to donate!
Mike Thomas
