...After many years working together as friends and colleagues, Katherine and I have decided to take it to the next level. 5,647m above sea level to be precise. In March next year, we will be climbing Kala Patthar, one of the three peaks of Everest, in order to raise money for the Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO).
Having spent time with them when we were in Nairobi (before climbing Kilimanjaro last year), we can both say first hand what a fantastic job they do; relying entirely on the volunteered time and skills of a network of around 2,000 people world-wide.
It’s because they’re such a great cause that we’re doing something crazy again – after Kili, I can certainly say it’s not what would traditionally be called “fun”. But I can’t stress enough what the sponsorship means – both to the guys working for the VSO on the ground and also to us.
We’re going to be visiting some of the projects in Kathmandu before setting off through the Himalayan foothills to see first hand where the money is going. And it would be amazing if as many people here could sponsor us as possible. We’re paying for the trip ourselves so everything we raise goes directly to the projects on the ground. It’s really easy to do – just go to Kat & Waz climb Everest! and give whatever you can spare!
