3 Days to go and counting ................... what should they expect?!?

With 3 days to go ... kit is being packed , anti altitude tablets bought and sleeping bags are being stuffed into already filled bags!! I am sure most people, like me, are thinking are these 10 close friends of mine mad?!??

This trip has been highly spoken about in recent months and the embankment of the plane is becoming ever closer. So far the guys have raised over £9,500 for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund and with £270 to go until the money target is reached the guys have absolutely exceed all expectations and I am sure there will be more money to come….

 
Kilimanjaro is no “walk in the park” and with many of the group they are not enthusiastic hikers so this is truly a trip whereby they will have to dig deep and club together to complete this huge mountain!! With the inspiration of a dear friend who sadly we lost in 2011 while serving our country, this will be an emotional and rewarding experience.

 
Kilimanjaro is quickly approaching them all and with temperatures at the peak being 0 degrees with winds blowing , I wish you all the best of luck!!!!

 
In the interim, can I ask for everyone’s help to add your email addresses to this link. If the guys win , the company will give them 5K towards their target …. Your help is massively appreciate and goes to a very worthy cause!
