Climbing Kili 4 Conservation

http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/rhinomaniacs

In September 2010 the Rhino Maniacs will be climbing the world's highest free-standing mountain... Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

The Rhino Maniacs are a group of Chester Zoo employees, who have come together in their own time to take on this challenge.  Why?  To help raise awareness and funds for Eastern Black Rhino conservation... and because maybe they are all just a little bit mad!

The Eastern Black Rhino is getting dangerously close to extinction, with only around 700 left in the wild.  We have pledged to raise £10,000 for Black Rhino conservation. The money that the Rhino Maniacs raise from this challenge will help support conservation efforts both out in Tanzania and here in the UK at Chester Zoo (registered charity no. 306077). 

We need your help!!!

 

And we're off...

9th Sept. 2010 - It's finally here...  tomorrow the Rhino Maniacs will be heading off to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro!  We are all incredibly excited and nervous about the challenge ahead of us.  We start the actual climb on Sunday 12th Sept. and will be aiming to summit on Thursday 16th.  Check out the Blog to find out how we're getting on!

And in the meantime... We now have a Virgin Money Giving page, where you can sponsor the team and help us raise even more cash for Black Rhino conservation!
