To the summit - Kilimanjaro

The Team finally raised over £15,000 For the Lench’s Trust Capital Fund. We could not have done it without the support or lots of people who gave of their time as well as cash contributions to our charity appeal. The words of support as we build up to the climb were touching and spurred us on even more to reach the top of the highest free standing mountain on the African continent. Donations kept coming in after we arrived back in the UK and special thanks to all the people at Minor Weir and Willis Ltd that raised money in support of the appeal and the Directors that matched what I had raised. Below are some of the kind words of support and encouragement that were posted on the Just Giving webpage and apologies in advance if I have missed anyone.
