UK trio Megan Pacey, Chris Mangan and Shelley Henderson who work for Gainsborough joke factory are all set to climb Kilimanjaro mountain; the tallest peak in Africa, for charity.
The task of climbing the tallest peak will not be easy and the three collogues cum friends are very well aware of this fact. They have already started their training which involves a 10 miles weekend walk every week in the rugged hills of the Derbyshire Peak District. They are also well aware of the hazards evolved in their journey and are ready to face anything that comes their way during their charitable journey.
All the three of them have set a target of £2,000 each. This means the trio aims at collecting a minimum of £6,000. The money collected in this trip will be donated to Make A Wish Foundation. This year alone around 1,000 children will turn to Make A Wish to have their special wish granted.
Not just the three workers of the Gainsborough joke factory but all of the 200 plus people staff is trying its best to collect as much as they can. They are busy organizing cake baking, street dancing and other fun activities for raising funds.
FLIP successfully organized a corporate fundraising quiz night to raise funds for Happy Faces Charitable Trust aiming chronic illness support. Visit http://www.flip.gi for more information.
Kilimanjaro is among the most accessible mountains in the world which can be climbed by people who do not have prior mountain climbing experience. Gainsborough joke factory trio have set a target of 10 days to climb it. The goodwill of people and the passion to raise money for a cause will keep them going.
