£995.00raised of £800.00 goal
Hello everyone!
We're two British backpackers with moderate hiking experience and this February we're climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world!
We are doing this in support of two great organisations that we worked with last year in Kenya:
- Lagnet CRIC, a community theatre company that works in Western Kenya, and helps educate people in the local area about matters such as public health, domestic violence, and land rights. They will use your donation to buy a PA system to help draw more crowds to their performances! www.facebook.com/lagnetcric
- Local Ocean Trust, Watamu Turtle Watch, a marine conservation organisation on the Kenyan coast, specialising in saving the endangered Sea Turtles in the area. They have a Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, and also work to educate the community on conservation and help provide training for alternative money generating activities for people to stop poaching. www.watamuturtles.com
You can see some of the work we did with these organisations on our vlog: http://bit.ly/2mjDdjY

Funds Distributed, Thanks Every one!
Update posted by Alexander Kerr at 08:33 amA week or two after returning home, and amongst all the laundry, organising, and family-seeing, we've now distributed all the funds raised by our lovely and generous donors to our lovely and grateful organisations. Thanks so much again to every one who donated and helped us reach and then exceed
We Did It! (And it was hard!)
Update posted by Alexander Kerr at 06:48 pmWe Did It! We reached Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa (and Europe) at 8am on Saturday morning. It was the hardest physical thing both of us have ever done. On the summit night we started from 4600m at 12am and then walked uphill in a blizzard for 8. . . . .
Trials and Tribulations!
Update posted by Alexander Kerr at 11:25 amThings are never easy, especially here in Africa it seems! 3 weeks ago, in the Rwenzori Mountains, Charlie managed to stub her toe - a somewhat innocuous injury, but one that turned out to have resulted in a broken little toe - as proved by X-ray. She's been able to. . . . .
