My name is Ursula Macken, I am a 24 year old Clerical Officer from Dublin, Ireland. From 5th-14th of October in order to raise much needed funds for the very worthy Dublin Simon Community I intend to trek Mount Kilimanjaro. I need to raise a minimum amount of ˆ5500. I would very much appreciate any contribuations (donations of money, spot prizes) This is for a very good cause and it would make The Dublin Simon Community and me very happy if we could count on your support!!!

One of the most magnificent sights in Africa, Kilimanjaro’s snow capped peak climbs 5000 metres over the surrounding plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world, made up of 3 volcanoes, Kibo (5896m), Mawenzi (5149m) and Shira (3962m), all of which have been lying dormant for centuries.
Being one of the highest trekking mountains in the world has meant this has become a popular destination for those looking for a challenging adventure. The iconic images of the mountain towering over the wildlife filled plains below have helped increase the popularity of this magnificent peak.
