You will never feel as tall as when you kneel to help a child

The only way is up…….!!

The Mt Kili Climbers are friends of OzCots who are working in partnership to support Cotlands. This is their story...

After too many curries washed down by too many beers, two rounded blokes hit the gym to shed some kilos and try to make a new start for a healthier life.

Although, grinding out the miles on a treadmill was a good start past, experience told us that it wasn’t going to last much more than a week without a clear and compelling goal at the end of it all. We needed a challenge that couldn’t be attempted if we didn’t keep to the training……KILIMANJARO.

Two eager chaps started spreading their story and two soon became seven would be Kilimanjaro Konquerors namely: Mendel and Devin Grobler, Steve, Kit and Jem  Rowe, Kristina Lamb & Chris Thomas.  

But getting fit  to climb a mountain didn’t seem like enough…… if Kilimanjaro could offer us the chance of a healthier life, what could we offer in return? And that’s where Cotlands comes in….

Cotlands is a long-established not-for-profit organisation  that strives to meet the ever-changing needs of children impacted by HIV/AIDS in South Africa.

HIV positive children who have become seriously ill, children who are abandoned as a result of their HIV status and orphaned children often require residential care. In the past, terminally ill children remained at Cotlands until they died, while orphaned children were placed with foster or adoptive parents.

Today, following the introduction of antiretroviral therapy, the AIDS-related death rate at Cotlands has decreased significantly. Whilst this result is very encouraging there are many consequences.

More information about Cotlands is available at http://www.cotlands.org/

How can you help the Mt Kili Climbers ….

We would like to work with Cotlands to raise money towards their specialised education program and support their outstanding work in this area.

Please dig deep and sponsor us for this venture, initially to get fit enough to think about the challenge and finally to make it to the top of the killa that is Kilimanjaro.

For kids with HIV and for the 2 fat blokes and their mates who are trying to help them……the only way is up!!
