The Cavendish Medical team set to tackle Mount Kilimanjaro
in November has just celebrated their 200-day countdown to the challenge with
their first training session in the Brecon Beacons mountain range.

With the aim of raising £50,000 for four charities, the team
from financial experts Cavendish Medical spent a long, wet weekend testing
their fitness (or lack of it) in the Welsh hills. They successfully completed a
12 mile walk with an ascent and descent variation of over 4,500ft.

When they face Mount Kilimanjaro, they will be walking
51 miles and climbing to the summit which stands at over 19,000ft (5895m).

Together, the team – made up of doctors and financial
planners to the medical profession – will raise money for Dementia UK, The
Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, Joint Action (helping those with bone, muscle or
joint disease or injury) and RLSB (helping blind and partially sighted young
people).

In November 2012, a small team from Cavendish Medical will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for charity and would like you to join them!

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the African continent and draws thousands of trekkers the world over.  Despite its immense size, Mount Kilimanjaro can be successfully climbed by any reasonably fit person.

We will be raising vital funds for four special charities:

Dementia UK, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, Joint Action (helping those with bone, muscle or joint disease or injury) and RLSB (helping blind and partially sighted young people).

Our expedition will last 11 days in total with seven days spent camping in tents. The climb to the summit will set a personal challenge that when conquered, will give you memories to last a lifetime, and as a great bonus, you will be helping some very worthwhile causes.
