Dear friends,
Unfortunately I have make an
early call and cancel the proposed Rock & Roll fundraiser night (scheduled
for this Sat 19/5/12) I sincerely hope this does not cause you too much
inconvenience and thank you to everyone who offered their support.
However, I am extremely humbled
and pleased to say that so far with the support of generous friends, colleagues,
donations/sponsorships and online donations I have been able to raise $9000.00
I have just under 6 weeks left to reach my minimum goal of
an overall target of $10,000
supporting Amnesty’s important mission to disclose human rights abuses.
With only 76 days before I depart Australia to commence the daunting
challenge of ascending 5,895m/19,341 ft up Mount Kilimanjaro I am thrilled to
say I am now more than ever motivated by Amnesty’s important work and buoyed by
the support of many friends to tackle the mountain trek. I must confess I did check the summit weather
station temperature a few nights ago and saw it was mild minus 10 degrees!!!! ……..now
where did I put those thermals!!!
I am less thrilled to say I recently
endured 5…yes 5 at one time……. precautionary inoculations (Yellow fever,
cholera etc etc), but, better be safe than sorry!!
Many thanks
