Greenfingers Kilimanjaro Team keep trekking upwards and you keep donating, over £227,000 raised so far, thank you to all!

The Greenfingers Charity Kilimanjaro Challenge team have trekked to over 4,600m above sea level on their way to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and thanks to your continued donations the total raised so far as just exceeded £227,000.

 

Kate Ebbens reports from the trek: "Some of us are a bit ill from altitude sickness and tummy upsets but ploughing through, it’s very hard!"

 

Communications from the trek are now few and far between but we'll bring them to you as soon as the next batch of photos and reports come through.

 

See the photos from Days 4 & 5 below and please keep telling your customers, suppliers and friends about this great challenge and the wonderful Children's Hospice garden that will be built as a result of their efforts and your kind donations.
