Charity Kili Climb

On the 2nd Feb 2011, 16 explorers fly to Tanzania, to try to reach the summit of the world’s highest freestanding mountain, Kilimanjaro. Standing at 5895m, the team face a challenging trek at extreme altitude, pushing themselves to the limits both physically and mentally. Taking the Lemosho route the team pass through humid rain forest, giant heather moorlands and frozen scree - all in preparation for the summit attempt to Uhuru Peak, where the temperature can plummet to -20 to -30 degrees.

Australia rules !!

Even though they obviously can't play rugby any more - and soon they'll be humbled in the Ashes too.............regardless the Australians still know how to raise money and throw a great party!

Shannon Millar is a customer services supervisor for Sportingbet in Darwin in North west Australia and is part of the Kili climbing team.

Shannon organised an outdoor party in Darwin to raise funds for Australian Breast Cancer Care as part of her fundraising effort.

The party was well attended, supported by plenty of Sportingbet staff, friends and local businesses and a great time was had by all.

And to top it all Shannon raised nearly £2,000! Brilliant effort bringing the total raised to over £16,500 now.
