Thank you for stopping by my fundraising page :)
Incase you havent heard, I plan to summit Kilimanajro with a group of amazing and inspirational women from the 26th of December to the 2nd of January. The main purpose of this climb is to fundraise for "The Palestinian Children Relief Fund" (PCRF), a registered charity that was established in 1991 to address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian youth in the Middle East. It has since expanded to help suffering children from the region, based only on their medical needs.
To me, this trip is so much more than just raising money. It is about getting out of my comfort zone and putting my mental and physical abilities to the test. You see, I will be turning 30 during this trip and I want to celebrate this milestone by giving something back in my own little way. I am healthy enough to take on such a challenge and fundraising to heal children back to health is the gift I want us to give.
Please join me in making this milestone meaningful and memorable. You are more than welcome to donate whatever amount you are comfortable with and thank you in advance for playing an active part in giving children access to medical facilties that they otherwise couldn't afford. Do spread the word, and follow our hashtags #Climb4pcrf to know more about how we train and prepare for the climb.
Yours Sincerely,

Climb4PCRF: Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund!
Who are we? Why do we do this?
This is a trip organized by volunteers of the PCRF. We love to take on challenges and explore the world. With the exciting story of climbing Kilimanjaro, we want to spread awareness about PCRF’s initiatives, support its work through fundraising and contribute to helping injured and affected children in Palestine and Syria.
How can I participate?
The trip is open to all who want to participate in this challenge and fundraising campaign. Each climber will have to commit to raising $15,000 before 24th December 2014, the day we start our adventure! If you cannot make it on the trip but would like to fundraise for the campaign or help a friend reach their goal, you can do that by clicking on "Become a fundraiser". All funds raised will be used to support the PCRF’s medical missions, treatment abroad programs and humanitarian projects.
Why Kilimanjaro?
Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895 metres or 19,341 feet above sea level. This fact makes Mount Kilimanjaro one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and part of the 7 summits challenge; the feat of climbing the highest mountain on every continent. Kilimanjaro has five distinct climate zones each occupying a range of approximately 1000m of altitude. This will be an extraordinary journey, it is “in some way like traveling from the equator to the pole, with increasing altitude providing a very distinct range of climate zones, from tropical rainforest to moorland, alpine desert and finally to the polar conditions of the summit.” We were inspired by the PCRF amputee children who participated in the Climb Of Hope last year. We want to start a trend of summiting heights and rough terrains as a reminder of the challenges that our children in Palestine and Syria face every day.
