Hey everyone!

I was debating whether or not to make this post here as it's a big window into my personal life, but as I soon realised this journey takes a leap of faith into the hands of people who I know very little about other then our shared interest in anime, as a long time member of this community I want to reach out and open this up to everyone to support as it is a global problem, I completely understand that in this current day and age money is short, but even to support and spread the word to as many people as you can then it will hopefully really boost this fundraising and help this amazing charity reach their goal, Thank you The AF family 

"I'll be trekking to the summit of Kilimanjaro for charity on the 22nd of August 2023!

The charity I am doing this with is the Meningitis Research Foundation aka the MRF. MRF's goal is to work alongside WHO to defeat Meningitis by 2030!
Meningitis still affects more than 5 million people per year and is one of the leading causes of death in children under 5. It is also young adults who have a high risk of Meningitis.

That's why I need your help, by donating/supporting this cause you are helping MRF reach its goal while also helping spread awareness through the Kilimanjaro trek. I would greatly appreciate any support whether that's a donation of any amount or spreading the word around with this link!

All it takes is the kindness of 500 strangers to make a donation of 10 euros to reach our goal but any little bit helps a lot, and please spread the word!
Thank you so much!
Ross"

Do you know yet whether you'll be getting off at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi Kenya or closer to your destination in or around Moshi in Tanzania? I don't mean to pry, I'm just a little curious is all.

Hi! Our travel plans have yet to be fully sorted as the process usually takes place later in the year to facilitate the large number of people taking part of this challenge and fundraising effort, all of us are set the same fundraising goal and our main focus at the moment is making sure we reach that goal to help MRF!
