Kilimanjaro fundraiser climb
20 March, 2015
From Chris Herbst
I hope you are all well, I am sure you are all aware by now about the announcement made by CACH, that they will soon be opening the CACH sanctuary, that will not only be a haven for rescued and injured wildlife, but also a rehabilitation and education centre. As always, at the helm of this immense project we have the inspirational pair of Chris Mercer and Bev Pervan. Two people whom on a personal level I will always look up to and respect immensely. Many of you will understand what exactly it requires, and the sheer effort needed to make a sanctuary like this a success, where the needs of the animals will always be top priority and to preserve and protect the African wildlife. The main factor as always is funds, without funding and a constant flow of income this will simply not be possible. This is our proposal on how we can assist them to succeed.  

Some of you will recognize this image from when myself, little Shumba, and my team successfully summitted Kilimanjaro, new years morning 2015. This was a combined effort between myself and CACH to bring more awareness about this horrific and despicable industry, that is canned hunting. Well I am happy to announce that we are at it again, only this time it will be a bit different.

After negotiations with the various tour operators, it was decided that we would qualify for a special rate. It was also decided that a percentage of all proceeds would go to the CACH sanctuary, there was however one requirement, the "Killi CACH group has to consist of at least 12 climbers. That is why we are inviting each and everyone of you, the loyal supporters of CACH to join us on this epic and hugely exciting adventure. The larger our group the more we will save, the more the sanctuary will benefit.

OK so, you might be thinking yes, it sounds wonderful and amazing but, I am no where near fit enough, I will never make it. Well any healthy person with a decent level of fitness will reach the summit, you don't have to be super fit. That being said, it is tough and at times you will have to dig deep and the thought of giving up will be in the back of your mind. This is why the actual trip will be booked at least 8-9 months before the actual climb leaving ample time for everyone to prepare properly. Upon booking you will receive an itinerary and information pack that contains a training program designed for Kilimanjaro.

This will also be an opportunity for us to "kill two flies with one swipe" not only will we raise much needed funds for the CACH sanctuary, but also raise even more awareness about the horrid canned hunting industry. We can all carry our banners, flags, wear our T-shirts and march up that mountain. My little Shumba will once again do the trek with me, he was really a constant reminder of why I was doing it and really one of the reasons why I made it to the summit. You can all bring your own Shumba for support and to remind you why are we fighting and what we are fighting for.  

All donors will have their namesput up onto a board at the Karroo Wildlife Centre.
