Thanks for the likes, everyone. I just wanted to share some of my motivations for doing this. Firstly, and by far most importantly, I have always loved the work Amnesty International does, fighting for the most vulnerable people of the world. (Some of whom I have seen, and I dont know how to ignore that poverty and inequality exists right alongside incredible wealth.) Secondly, it looks like one hell of an adventure. Since the idea of climbing mt kilimanjaro became a possibility, I was torn between jumping at the chance and pretending it was never mentioned. Then I got a phone call from Amnestys publicity partners, and I knew I had to do it. I want to do it for the adventure, but also to show my kids that they can do whatever they decide they want to do. I want to show, by example, that it is possible to be that person, for whom nothing is out of reach. ...lofty dreams indeed, and the pressure is now on for me to raise the money ($10 000!) and get fit. Your encouragement and support really does mean everything, so thanks for following!
