This money will be a massive help in launching our training project in Swaziland, helping thousands of producers build sustainable businesses as well as raising awareness of HIV/AIDS, which is crucial in a country that currently has the highest rate in the world.
So ....now for the physical goal!
The donation yesterday spurred me on and after a two week lull in training, I hit the gym for a two hour session!
I did half an hour on Kilimanjaro mode (yes, conveniently this setting does exist!) on the cross trainer, which I hope is very close to the real thing as I was exhausted afterwards.
Then I did 20 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the running machine!
And I have to say I'm not feeling too bad today, so I will be returning for round two this evening!
Neil and I will be keeping you posted on the ups and downs of our training regime as well as progress on fundraising We are also seeking corporate support to help us out with essential kit for the climb over the next few months.
If you are interested in hearing more about the Swaziland project, the Kilimanjaro climb or way you could get involved please contact me at andrea.wilkinson@shared-interest.com
