You may be wondering what we accountants have to do with Kilimanjaro the highest mountain in Africa. The answer is Lucas Martin. Lucas approached the practice with the intention of helping him with sponsorship and also to provide him with sponsorship tee shirts and a flag to carry with him to the top of the mountain.

Lucas who is an ex Runshaw College student went on to study Geography at Manchester University and he got involved with the RAG group who were highlighting various fundraising and volunteering activities. Lucas liked the idea of a trek planned by Childreach which wasn’t just an ordinary trek but one to scale Kilimanjaro at a height of 5895m. Lucas flies to Tanzania on 13th June 2016.

To explain why we supported Lucas is best done by understanding why Lucas chose to undertake this challenge. It was the nature of the cause that providing education for children less fortunate. Lucas said “I thought it was a good cause with regards to The support of children because education should be a basic right for all regardless of the economic standing”.

Lucas will spend three days in a local school working with the children and then in his challenge to climb Africa’s highest mountain. You can still show your support for Lucas by donating on my https://donate.BT.com/fundraisers/lucasmartin.
