Charity Kilimanjaro Climb with Town 102
We are proud to be sponsoring one of our staff members, Mark Lloyd, to join the Town 102 team who are climbing Kilimanjaro. The team consists of Town 102 staff, listeners and of course our Mark. All money raised will be going to the Town Kids Trust who help children and families in Ipswich.
Mark is in for a challenge, not only is he overweight and unfit he has pledged himself to take part in the 25 mile Orwell Walk and the Ipswich half marathon. This will not only raise his fitness but also money for a good cause. The climb is going to take a lot of effort with over 21 miles walking in just over 3 days. It may not sound a lot but he will be climbing this at altitude where the air is thinner and all the walking will be up hill.
How the Kids Trust has already helped
The Town Kids Trust helps children in the Ipswich area and aims to:
- Relieve poverty, hardship or the distress of families with children
- Promote the physical or mental welfare of families with children in need of care and attention
- Improve the lives of individual families with children and children's groups living in Ipswich and the surrounding area
Want to know more about what the Town Kids Trust does to help local children? See where some of the money has used.
Not only will the money raised help local children but the area surrounding Mount Kilimanjaro is home to some of Tanzania’s poorest communities, and the schools are in dire need of assistance, which this challenge will help to provide. Whilst acclimatising in preparation for the climb, the team will spend 2 - 3 days helping on a range of projects at a local school, including renovating classrooms, clearing land for sports and recreation and restoring furniture – as well as spending time with the pupils of course!
