Well I've made a massive decision in the last couple days.... I'm going to climb Kilimanjaro!
Now this has not been a spontaneous decision but has been something I have wanted to do for a long time. I have always enjoyed expeditions, having completed all levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and going on to become a leader for the award. I have also completed a basic expedition leadership award and am half way through a mountain leadership qualification.
So when a colleague came into the office and said she wanted to organise a trip to Kilimanjaro to raise money for Childreach International, I was really looking forward to getting involved with the trip.
However it was a massive decision to make, because not only is it a huge undertaking, to climb the worlds highest free standing mountain, but I would also be taking on the responsibility of raising £2500 for the charity, in order to take on the challenge.
In the end I have decided that it was an opportunity that I could not miss, and so the fundraising begins. I have done some bits and pieces with fundraising, but never anything on this scale. I have set up a fundraising page, using my donate, https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/edwardbending. However I'm also looking for other ideas to raise money for the venture!
So whether you would like to donate, please do!, or if you have any ideas about other ways to raise money, please do get in contact!
