Friends and members of Colwyn Bay Rotary Club are celebrating after their club secretary reached dizzy heights in a very gruelling fundraising challenge.
Stephen Walburn and his son Alex challenged themselves to climb Kilimanjaro and at the same time raising funds for Village Water, an organisation that provides an essential lifeline for communities in Zambia and Mozambique.
Colwyn Bay Rotary Club and other clubs have given the charity funds in the past and know that every penny donated through their fundraising efforts will go to providing improvements to water provision and sanitation in remote villages.
Both successfully reached the top of Kilimarnjaro and raised over £500 for the Village Water.
The organisation supports communities in Zambia and Mozambique be healthier by improving access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education in schools, village and health centres. Donations will work towards the goal of helping everyone to have safe water to drink at home, a private toilet to use and lessons on how to prevent disease.
When healthier people can go to school, work or farm. They can fulfil their potential and move away from poverty.
Stephen's son Alex works at West London College's sports department and completed the challenge to help promote outdoor physical activity and environmental awareness whilst raising money for a worthy cause.
Stephen's and Alex's fundraising page is still open if you wish to contribute to the amount already raised.
