I’m back – Well in truth I actually arrived back in Blighty last Sunday morning but it has taken me until now to recover, get out of the shell shock and realise last Thursday morning I actually made it to the top of the summit!

What a journey! I’m waiting to collect in the mass of photos and film (and put together the full presentation / slide show) I have uploaded a new film and wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all again for your very kind donations!

So far we have raised over £4,290 (85% of my target) and I’m confident when all those pledged donations are in and counted we will break the £5k mark! Please if you have pledged and haven’t had time to click through and donate yet you can do it here right now.

Our group of 23 strangers not only had the highest success rate for summit night but we all stayed together and had the highest percentage achieve summit than in over 5 years!
There is a short film of some of the highlights here and I have listed below the best memories:

• Being in safe hands from the start, our guides were called Moses & God Bless (honestly)
• Inspiring moment – Being passed by a porter carrying over 50lb balanced on their head!
• Keeping it real – Sharing a tent with Amar aged 19 from London (who had also lost his Dad)
• When the IPods had run out, we started playing “I went on holiday and in my suitcase I packed”
• What goes up must come down – Forgetting it would take 2 days to get off the mountain
• Procol vitamins – make for the best Shrek coloured wee (thanks Clare)
• Prayer meetings – 1st night alone, on summit night praying with over 12 people involved
• Where can you hear Bob Marley and Oasis performed by the worst live cruise ship band ever? The Glacier bar in Moshi winner of weirdest bar in Africa!

There were 6 people on Kili raising money for CAP meaning together we will have impacted on the real poverty that exists here in the UK. Many people who are living on very low incomes and are struggling to meet debt repayments will now be able to afford the basics of life that include regular meals heating and medication.

If you would like to know more about CAP and where your money is going check out linda’s story and if you haven’t got around to donating yet it is as simple and safe…DONATE  NOW
£50 – Imagine if your cupboards really were bare. That’s the harsh reality for so many families in debt. £50 will provide a week’s food for a CAP client who has absolutely nothing when CAP arrive on the scene.

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU !!!
