For some years I have wanted to climb Kilimanjaro. Being the highest point in Africa and the highest stand alone mountain in the world has its attraction, but for me it's just the challenge. At first I had the time but didn't have the money, then when I had the money I didn't have the time, now that I have neither I must make the time and find the money.

I was delighted to be able to persuade Sheila my wife and later my close friend John van der Horst to join me. We are doing this climb to raise funds for The Reach for a Dream Foundation (www.reachforadream.org.za) and hope to raise R100,000, and with your help we should make it.

83 Days to go


Had some great news today! Reach for a Dream has (finally) agreed to let me raise some money for them with the climb. I have been waiting for this permission before I can get the word out that I will be climbing to the highest point in Africa. I have fulfilled some dreams for them over the last two years (go here to have a look http://www.richardmulvey.com/content/view/137/81/) and as it has been my dream to do this climb for seven years it is entirely appropriate to combine my dream with some of theirs and raise money while I am climbing. The target I set myself is R100,000. This will be challenging now but I am sure I can do it with a little help from the local media. (With a bit of luck)
