On 1st July I will be climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, to raise money for Tackle.
All the funds I raise will help support young people affected by HIV in Africa. Please sponsor me at this link
Thank you!
Next month I’m swimming the channel to raise money to help kids in Africa. I can’t even swim! The first to donate at this link wins a cake.
I’m going to play football for 12 hours on 9th June to raise money for the awesome @Tackle to help kids affected by HIV in Africa. I’ll run/limp about 40km on the day – same as a marathon – and it’ll really hurt. Please sponsor me!
Thank You
