Summit for the Students of St Jude's!
Are you sitting there with visible signs of second helpings, wondering why the fashion world doesn't promote 'muffin tops'? Maybe you're fit - been cycling for years – but want to stretch those calf muscles? Or maybe you've dreamed of climbing a mountain in one of the most exotic regions of the world...
SO JUST DO IT! Climb off the couch, push away from the desk, stand up and punch the air... and commit to climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in November 2010!
Just think – you'll be so proud of yourself! You'll be motivated to move the muscles and budge the bulges; you'll have something to brag about for the rest of the year, AND you'll be climbing Kili for the kids of St Jude's! The money you raise will go towards the much needed school buildings for the students in 2011.
Here's how you can do it
Book now so you don't miss out. Start the fitness program. Wear in those climbing boots. Cut out those second helpings. Take the stairs, not the lift.
Then, at 8am on Sunday 28 November 2010, you join your team, a great group of like-minded folk, in Nairobi, Kenya, to start your 12-day adventure!
You enjoy the first four days exploring, relaxing and acclimatising at and around St Jude's before heading up along the picturesque Macheme route to enjoy the sunrise from the 'Roof of Africa'. In the capable hands of the experts from Summits Africa, you will be assured a safe, exhilarating and fun experience of a lifetime. Then bask in the glory when members of the St Jude's community enjoy a celebratory lunch with you – you're heroes!
Cost: only US$8,000
This includes: non-refundable Registration Fee of US$500, 7-day climb package US$2,500, all accommodation, food, water, excursions and donation to St Jude's US$5,000.
