TICKETS ARE BOOKED!

Woo! It is finally official, on the 20th June 2014 we will be on our way to Nairobi to start our Nasio Trust adventure; climbing Kilimanjaro and volunteering in the local daycare centres to help build schools and shelters for young children that have been orphaned as a result of HIV'S. We thought The Nasio Trust was an amazing charity and really wanted to support a charity that doesn't get a lot of attention but does lots of AMAZING work, if you would like to check out some of the other work the Nasio Trust do, click here to visit their website, or watch the video below... it will make you laugh and cry...



The flights are actually booked now, it feels so great as in January 2013 when we decided to attempt this challenge, we wanted it to do it in the following September (2013), a rather ambitious goal, we nearly made it with our fundraising target and were going to put the rest of the money towards it from our own savings, but then we got engaged...and needed the money for the wedding so we had to postpone it, now, thanks to kind donations and sponsorship we finally have enough to do it and we have booked our tickets!!  The target was to raise £5,900 together and check out our running total...Our Page


We are really thankful to everyone that has helped us get this far, we really couldn't have done it without you all, your money really will be changing the life of little ones in desperate need of care and will definitely be pushing us to our own physical and emotional boundaries. We are trying to work hard towards raising the rest of the money and getting ourselves in shape for the climb and we are having lots of fun doing so. We can't quite believe how quickly it is coming around now, only 123 days!


It is so exciting, Dan is a little apprehensive just because of the complete LARGE scale of this challenge and Seb is a little worried because he STILL has a knee injury and physio doesn't seem to be helping :( Regardless of whether we make it to the top or not, all the money will be going to the charity and it will be one of the most rewarding experiences for us both but we are hoping and praying that Seb's knee will be better by then so we can give it our best efforts to conquer Kilimanjaro. We will definitely keep you posted about this in June.

Thanks for stopping by!

Dan & Seb
