Looking back down onto Lake Manyaro park, before heading back to Moshi. Masai tribesman herding his cattle across a new road which stretched for miles! The journey back took nearly 4 hours, but no more punctures - thankfully!!
Spinal Research is dedicated to funding research into repairing damaged spinal cords and restoring feeling and movement to those paralysed by spinal cord injury. Pioneering projects funded by the charity are making incredible progress. However with no direct government funding, it is only thanks to support from people like you that they can continue supporting this work. I hope that one day, through the groundbreaking work of Spinal Research, that Stewart my 21 year old son will regain the use of his legs again after being paralysed in a motorbike accident on 9/11/06. I should be one day away from reaching the top of Kilimanjaro on his 22nd birthday - 26/8/09.
I can hardly believe that I'm finally heading for the summit of Kilimanjaro, it's been my goal/dream since 1998 when, after breaking my back in a horrific car accident and causing substantial damage to my left foot, my physiotherapist decided I needed to set myself a goal to focus on and start walking again.
