Kenya Expedition 2018.
Donation protected
Hi I'm Kira Pennington and I am a student at Westholme School in Blackburn. I am participating in an expedition to Kenya in 2018.
It's a 4-week expedition and include extensive community development work, life changing environmental projects and wildlife conservation. It also includes additional elements such as a trek to the peak of Mount Kenya and a safari.
The core objectives of this expedition are to undertake projects in order to:
• Raise the educational standards of developing communities within a rural district of Kenya.
• Raise the living standards of developing communities, within a rural district of Kenya.
• Assist with ongoing wildlife conservation programmes to preserve biodiversity and protect vulnerable habitats.
This expedition is extremely important to me because I'll be helping to make a difference to the lives of the Kenyan people whilst acquiring and developing many important life skills such as leadership, team building and independence. It will give me the opportunity to explore new cultures, experience different ways of life and like I said, most of all...make a difference!
The Three Yorkshire Peaks Challenge
As part of my fundraising efforts, on Saturday 17th June a team of close family and friends will embark on the ‘Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge’!
We'll take on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, in that order, and our aim is to complete it in under 12 hours. The route is a gruelling 24-miles long, and includes 5,200ft (1,585m) of ascent, requiring lots of hard work and training in preparation for the challenge.
Supporting me with the challenge - let me introduce you to the Yorkshire Three Peaks Team!
Ian & Wendy Pennington
Jean & Richard Sutlieff
Karl & Kimberley Dobson
Baz Shuttleworth
Joel Pilkington
Claire Munroe
Anna & Joe Braisford
We are also camping (proper camping, not 'glamping') the night before and the night of the challenge!
The team and I are extremely grateful of any kind donations you make to the my Kenya Expedition fund, and it will certainly encourage us to succeed on the 17th - wish us luck....we'll need it!
Here's the route marked on the map below....
Please keep checking back to my page where I will keep updating you with all of my other fundraising activities!
Many thanks again,
Kira
