City chic scales new heights for HOPE!
Submitted on the 4th of March, 2011
Farah commented “I had never done anything like this so I trained really hard using events such as The Hellrunner marathon. I had some very personal reasons for wanting to do it, not only to fulfil a lifetime dream of summiting the Majestic White Mountain, to challenge myself both mentally and physically but also” Farah confides” to overcome my acrophobia, yes, I have an extreme fear of heights! but most importantly, to raise funds for HOPE for Children - Helping Orphaned, Poor and Exploited Children all over the World. Thanks to the help of family and friends I raised over £5000”.
“I chose this amazing charity because HOPE for Children work on incredible projects around the world and they aim to help those children who cannot get aid, support or assistance elsewhere. HOPE for Children help disabled, orphaned, poor and exploited children, particularly those living in third world countries by providing basic necessities including food, water, education, health care and sustaining their long-term development. I want to continue fundraising as much as I possibly can so I can help to provide secure, clean water supplies to orphanages; provide prosthetic limbs to child landmine victims; build permanent classrooms, toilets, provide books & HIV/AIDS awareness training.” continues Farah.
Jane Deakin, Managing Director of Private Kilimanjaro added “It is fantastic to see someone like Farah raise so much money for HOPE. The whole emphasis of our Charity Climb Programme is to get people like Farah safely up and down the mountain with the most money possible going to the charity”
