Sarah Champneys

I am married to Toby and a mum to two wonderful boys, Harvey aged 9 and Max aged 7. I am 39 years old and live in Frant, East Sussex. I have worked with Compassion now since August 2010 am now very excited to be joining this special challenge in March 2012. I have never climbed or trekked up a mountain, but I am very excited to meet the students, meet the other challenge participants and experience all that Kilimanjaro offers!

Date of Trip: March 2012

I am trekking Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest free-standing mountain in the world!) to help support four Compassion Leadership Development Programme students to attend university. These students have worked hard to get to this stage in their lives and have already faced incredible obstacles - but this has been made possible by the incredible support of Compassion sponsors. This is now their chance to gain a further education that will enable them to support their families and communities. Please support my trek and therefore these dedicated students by donating online.

Fundraising Target: £2000

This is a life changing challenge...both for me and the students we are trekking to support. By donating to the challange you are enabling them to build a brighter future for themselves and their communitites.

Good luck Sarah. I have no climbing tips. Chuck does enough exercise for the both of us. But I know you will do great. When it gets hard - push through, and think good things.
