KM Group show support for Marie Curie Cancer Care

KM Group are looking for 35 volunteers to trek Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the highest freestanding mountains in the world, towering 5,895m above the surrounding plains, to raise funds to employ more Marie Curie Cancer Care nurses in Kent.

Steve Fountain, KM Group’s Head of Radio, will be leading the trek, which takes place between July 8 and 17 2010, taking participants on a journey through Tanzania’s cultivated farmlands, lush rainforests, alpine meadows and above the clouds to the barren lunar landscape of the upper mountain, before a final push to the snow-capped summit.

To be part of this demanding expedition volunteers will need to pay an entry fee of £350 upon registration and raise a minimum of £3,750 in sponsorship. They'll also need to have a high level of health and fitness and training for the journey is essential. Entrants will be provided with a training guide.

Those interested in taking on the challenge who would like to learn more about the Trek route, itinerary and requirements are invited to visit http://www.kmfm.co.uk/ for more information.
