Roundabout team on top of the world as Kilimanjaro trek raises £90,000
They’ve reached the top…and topped their fantastic fundraising efforts after raising £90,000 for South Yorkshire youth homelessness charity Roundabout.
A team of intrepid Roundabout supporters took on the challenge of walking to the top of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro.
By the time they reached the summit after eight days of walking through some tough Tanzanian terrain, they had climbed 5,895 meters - and with each step along the way being sponsored, the total has now reached £90,000.
“I can’t put into words how proud we are of them, or how grateful we are for the incredible amount they’ve raised to fund our vital services and help us support over 500 young people every day,” said Roundabout fundraising events manager Mhairi Jamieson.
“They’ve now earned a well-deserved rest, with some venturing out to see the wildlife of Africa on safari, while others relax by the pool.”
There’s still time to support the team and give the total an even greater boost - just visit www.justgiving.com/campaign/roundaboutkilimanjaro
