Africa is a continent of contrasts, and nowhere more beautifully illustrates this than Tanzania, where the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro rises majestically above the shimmering heat of the savannah. At 5,895 metres (19,340 feet) Kilimanjaro is not only Africa's highest peak it is also the highest freestanding mountain in the world. This trek is a mental, emotional and obviously physically feat, we can't wait to push the envelope and see how far our bodies can really take us. Climb Kili for Kids is not only a charity challenge, we will also get the opportunity to volunteer at the school where we are focusing our fundraising on. In addition to supporting some of our travel expenses, our fundraising will aid Childreach's ongoing efforts to help every child reach his or her potential in life; specifically by providing crucial learning materials and clean drinking water to the children in the Kilimanjaro Region. We couldn't be any more excited about our upcoming adventure, we just know it will be life-changing!
