ADVENTURERS will climb Kilimanjaro in support of four Cheshire charities.
13 participants will take part in the nine-day trip from September 23 and will raise funds for Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity, RedShift Community Hub, Wingate Special Children’s Trust and C.R.Y for Mathew.
The event has taken a year of planning and a pre-celebration has been organised for September 15.
Carole Salmon, community fundraiser, said: “As a group of organisations it is a privilege to be able to offer residents this trekking experience and raise awareness about the charity.
“It really is a fantastic way to raise in order to help provide improved healthcare for our patients at Leighton Hospital, Victoria Infirmary and Elmhurst. We are grateful to all our supporters.”
Paul Boniface, participant and RedShift volunteer, said: “We have all worked really hard to get fit for this trek and raise lots of vital funds for each of the local organisations so please do support us.”
Donations can be made by visiting mchcharity.org or by texting mchc00 and your amount to 70070. Maximum donation by text is £10.
Tickets can also be bought for the Walkers SendOff for £40 at redshiftonline.org/climbkili2017events.
