Marie Curie Mount Kilimanjaro Trek - October Charity: Marie Curie Cancer Care Challenge:  Tanzania, Mt Kilimanjaro Charity Challenge Dates: 07/10/2010 -16/10/2010 Deposit*: £ 350 Minimum Sponsorship*: £  3750 Grade:  Very Challenging   Join Marie Curie on the roof of Africa! Kilimanjaro is one of Africa’s most magnificent sights, and at 5985m it is her highest peak. Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families. Every year Marie Curie provides care to around 30,000 cancer patients and their families, either in the comfort of their own home or at one of their Marie Curie Hospices. Join us on a seven day trek on Mt Kilimanjaro and we will ascend this magnificent mountain using the Rongai route. From cultivated farmlands on the lower levels, through lush jungle, alpine meadow and then finally across a barren lunar landscape to the summit of Kibo, which, despite its position on the Equator, is permanently covered in snow. This trail does not require any technical climbing but is very challenging, and we allow an extra acclimatisation day. This is one of the toughest challenges we organise, but our experienced team will support you throughout, whether it’s training advice, what it’s actually like to be on the mountain, how to fundraise and what type of kit to take with you. Once on the mountain, the Marie Curie support will be with you every step of the way, along with our Expedition Leader, Doctor and team of local guides ensuring your safety.   Contact Cordelia Hughes cordelia.hughes@mariecurie.org.uk http://www.mariecurie.org.uk/discover 020 7091 4113   Downloads		In Pictures     Participant Feedback...
