Congratulations to the amazing and inspiring members of the @cabbiesdokili group who today completed their climb of 19341 feet (5895 meters) to reach Uhuru peak, the summit of Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain and one of the worlds largest volcanoes.
In doing so, they have raised much needed funding for the Taxi Charity For Military Veterans.... "because of the great work they do with our war veterans".
Super human effort from these Super Cabbies and what a fantastic photo from the summit.
The group got a personal congratulation from Bear Grylls.
At 5,895m, Uhuru Peak remains the highest point in all Africa and marks the spot of the jauntily angled summit sign where weary travellers are seen snapping their ‘victory’ photograph.
While there are several poignant memorials decorating the final summit, there is a surprising lack of drama, with intense relief taking prominence over theatrics.
From the top of Uhuru Peak, travellers look out onto a vast landscape of pristine white snow and towering peaks. It is this point that people from all over the world aspire to. While the weather-worn sign at the very top is notoriously unceremonious, hikers will enjoy the satisfaction of standing on top of the highest peak in Africa
So far the team have managed to raise £13,903 from 228 supporters.
Please continue donating and help them reach their ultimate goal of £20,000.
It would only take £1 from each London Cabby.
