I can't believe I'm climbing that mountain again!


I said 'Never Again' last year after I came down from the summit after a gruelling 6 day trek. Then the siren voices started: "It wasn't that bad!" (How soon you forget). "Can  I come with you next year?" Of course you can I hear myself saying! 
But the most compelling reason to do it again is because there are thousands of deprived children who we can help by raising funds to lift them out of a life of poverty and despair. In total we touch the lives of around 1,000 children: street children who have a home, a hope and a future. Orphans who now have a mum and dad and a family. Children whose home is in the slum, but who are receiving the education they need to help lift them out of a life of undeserved poverty. And, in all we do, we underpin our work with the message that there is a personal God who loves and cares for us and who wants the best for us, now....and for ever!

Summit day is October 8th, 2014. Sponsor me if you can at  www.justgiving.com/Never-Again-Kili2014

10th Marafun completed in record time

Martin Print completed his 10th marathon for Footsteps International last Saturday. It was a record because no-one has ever run the course slower than he did! Well, it was all for a good cause, so why rush a good thing!.
