Tim Batstone, chairman of HB Leisure, is currently attempting to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, in order to raise money for charity.
It is a huge physical and mental challenge and includes many obstacles – not least altitude sickness.
Standing at 19,341ft, Kilimanjaro is one of the most majestic sights on earth. It’s also the world’s highest free-standing mountain, and the challenge of a lifetime. Over the last few months, Tim has put in a huge amount of preparation. This has included work on fitness, fund-raising and logistics.
Money raised will go via the Bacta Charitable Trust to Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity, which does marvellous work to brighten the lives of children aged between 3-18 who are living with serious or life-threatening illnesses.
In support of Tim, all money raised before his descent (Saturday 17 August) will be matched by HB Leisure. As the fund is currently approaching £15,000, excluding the HB Leisure donation, the final amount should really make a difference.
We wish Tim all the best in his adventure!
