My Personal Message
Hey Guys,
Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page.
I went to Tanzania on 18th February 2011 to attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and to raise much needed funds for the The Red Door, a special school for children on the autistic spectrum.
Mount Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 meters (19,341ft) is the highest mountain in Africa and the largest freestanding mountain in the world. It represents a huge challenge to would be climbers due to the physical, physiological and mental factors.
Despite the physical effort, sleep deprivation and the debilitating effects of acute altitude sickness, I'm pleased to confirm I reached the summit at Uhuru Peak at 8am on Thursday 24th February.
What kept me going through the hardship was the the knowledge that all the Red Door Kids were backing me and that all money I am raising will go straight to the charity to to fund the work of the school. It's a really worthy cause.
You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure.
