Ben's Superstars Kilimanjaro Challenge
UPDATE - We made it as planned! all 5 team members summited at 07:30 on Sunday 9th October 2011 - what a fantastic experience!!
Hi, thanks for visiting our page
We are going to Trek up Kilimanjaro in October 2011. We will Start the Climb on Monday 3rd October, and hopefully Summit on Ben's Birthday, the 9th October 2011 (he would have been 13).
There are 5 climbers altogether:
Andy Preston (Ben's Dad), Blaise Ford, Simon Churchill, Craig Jewell and Nick Brown. All of the climbers are covering the cost of the trip themselves, so ALL of your sponsorship goes directly to the charity
The crazy target total on the right is actually how hi Kili is in feet, so £1 for every foot we climb!
In 2007 we attempted the 3 peaks, over 30 guys completed and we raised over £30k, we are hoping to beat that total of course!
Every donation helps - thank you
