Posts by Jen Atkinson, Krista McKinzey and Harriet Thew » Those of you who have been reading my blogs on a regular basis will know the ups and downs I have gone through in training for the Kilimanjaro climb. I have been extremely grateful for this; it has been almost like I've had people alongside me, spurring me on.
This is partly why it makes it so hard for me to say that the climb has not been able to go ahead, due to entirely unforeseen circumstances.
We must now look forward to the next challenge. I do hope that, through my posts, you have grown an understanding of the vital work we do. The Kilimanjaro training will stand me in good stead for future fundraising opportunities so that we can continue to work towards our goals. There will be more news on these events coming soon.
In the meantime, I just want to say a big thanks to everyone for their help and support in reading my blog. I know you will share in my disappointment that this particular event couldn't take place but will also hope you can also join me in looking forward to the achievements that lie ahead.
'Do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember: A kite rises against the wind rather than with it.'
I will be in touch again soon.
Andrea
