Thank You


To Our Wonderful Shirt Sponsors

Without you this trip would not have been possible. You put your Company name up and put your money where your mouth was. You believed in what we were doing and in the kids we were doing it for.

We all wore our shirts with pride and we thank you so much for your fantastic support. Our Camp Quality kids will truly benefit from your generosity.

To Our Other Supporters and Donors

To the other 13 Amazing Trekkers

Jude, Linda, Ruth, Peter, Ali, Craig, Ash, Dave, Sharkie, Princess Mary, Brad, Gail and Moses - what an incredible group of people you are.

You graciously gave up so much of your time for Camp Quality to train for this Trek and to run fundraisers to raise money for the kids. You paid for the whole trip out of your own funds and for some of you who were couples especially, that was a massive amount of money.

Together you have so far raised in excess of $109,000.00 for the Camp Quality kids and funds are still coming in - what an amazing achievement - but then knowing you all and the sort of people you are, I never doubted that you would raise an incredible amount of money.

While you were in Africa you wore your Camp Quality shirts with pride, told anyone who asked (or didn't ask) what Camp Quality was about and Jude you even tried to collect donations on the mountain - you were all amazing ambassadors for Camp Quality and now thanks to you all (and to the kids of St. Judes) the Camp Quality story is working its way around Africa - how exciting !
I am so proud of all your efforts and the way you all handled yourselves. I feel extremely privileged that I had the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing adventure with incredible people for a fantastic Charity. You should all be extremely proud of what you did.

To those of you who made it to the Summit, your strength and stamina is inspiring. To those of you who climbed the Mountain but through no fault of your own, did not actually summit, never let anyone take away from you what you did do. Everyone of you is amazing for what you did and Camp Quality will forever be grateful.

A special thank you to Sharkie who once again carted his camera up mountains, into schools, on safaris and generally everywhere we went over the whole 17 days we were away filming everything and anything so that he can once again come home and produce an amazing documentary that we can share with you all. That way you will really appreciate the adventure we had.

Well, that's it for our Climb 4 Kids .... Kilimanjaro Trek. After all our training and fundraising, it is hard to believe that it is now all over. We have learnt so much about ourselves and about the incredible African people - they taught us so much.

Thanks to everyone for reading the blog and for your never ending support and encouragement - we could not have done it without you all.

Hugs,

Donna.
