Roundabout Kilimanjaro walkers smash fundraising total
Supporters of South Yorkshire youth homelessness charity Roundabout have already raised almost £80,000 before they even reach the end of an epic African challenge.
The team are currently walking all the way to the top of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro.
By the time they reach the summit, they will have climbed 5,895 meters - and each step along the way is being sponsored.
Up to now the group has already raised £66,472, with an extra £10,711 in Gift Aid bring it up to almost £80,000, and that total is still rising.
“We had high hopes of this being a great success but up to now it really is exceeding all our expectations,” said Roundabout Chief Executive Ben Keegan.
“This incredible amount of money really will make a massive difference to the work we do with vulnerable young people in South Yorkshire.”
