Massive GOOD LUCK to Rhod Gilbert who is currently out in Africa, about to start his ascent to climb to the top of Killimanjaro. Millions of Energised particles of power (they are strong!) for every moment you need them, all the way to the top. I know you can do it & supporting you all the way….
This is what Rhod says,
“In September I will be leading a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro with Wales Rugby Legend Martyn Williams in aid of Velindre Cancer Centre. I’ve performed in front of UK troops in Iraq, and 60,000 people at Twickenham for Help The Heroes, I’ve tried to make the Queen laugh with a potato, and had a pop at Prince Charles for parking outside my house at the Royal Variety Performance, but this is my toughest challenge yet.
At 19,340ft, Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak and the tallest freestanding volcano in the world. We’ll be leaving behind all mod-cons and luxuries, walking an average of 7 hours a day and on summit night, walking for 20 hours in -20 degrees.
This is a monster challenge, especially given that I’m about as fit as a panda. But everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer and I’m really pleased to be able to contribute, and ensure that the Trek of a Lifetime raises a significant amount for Velindre Cancer Centre.” Rhod

Until 2014 when we could have some more exciting challenges, the Biggest Good Luck to Rhod in his challenge and fundraising. I wonder if he will compare with the Brownlee Brothers?!
If you would like support training for a big or small, crazy or sensible charity challenge I can help you. Since I set up Energised we have raised over £34,000 and done a range of random and normal things to achieve this total 🙂 Happy days Kim xx
