Mountain High Funds Low

You know some people say climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is harder than running a non-profit museum.

Well we have decided to test that theory.

Hi everyone, Deb here, just wanted to let you all know that we did it!  Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro was perhaps one of the hardest things I have ever done. Especially days 4 & 5.  We calculated that in a 48 hour period we had hiked for 22 1/2 hours - 7 of them were in the dark!  But we made it and we are very proud of ourselves. 

Photos will soon be up of the climb.  So check back at our website.

Thanks to all those who donated, remember you can still donate so please pass the word around.

Cheers
Deb
    The Maritime Centre
The Maritime Centre is a not for profit organisation that is dedicated to recording, collecting and telling the stories of the men and women who worked for the busiest coal export port in the world. The Maritime Centre is self funding and as such relies on admission fees, function hire and donations to keep its doors open. Fundraisers also go a long way to helping the Maritime Centre continue to tell the history of Newcastle’s port. Deb Mastello has worked at the Maritime Centre for about a year and a half. In June 2010, Deb and her sister Niki will be endeavouring to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the African Continent. Our aim is to raise money for the Maritime Centre to help with the day to day running expenses.
