John Drury - Trek Kilimanjaro 2011
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
As you can see the final countdown to my trip is now well and truly underway! On October 14 me and my intrepid bunch of about 15 like minded, slighty eccentric, volunteers will attempt to trek Mt Kilimanjaro. The last few months have focused on my attempt to get myself prepared both physically and financially to meet this challenge. My target to raise £3500 for Scope which supports work in the UK for people with cerebral palsy and more widely champions the cause of disabled people achieving equality is in sight. One final push and I will meet my financial objective. One slightly bigger push and I'll reach my personal goal too.......the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro! I'm really looking forward to a truly 'once in a lifetime' experience.
I do hope you see this as a worthy undertaking and challenge and consider sponsoring me in my attempt to raise much needed funds for Scope.
Thanks
I, and more importantly Scope, really appreciate your support
John
