I have been thinking that I need to start fund raising. The minimum for entry into the race is 7000 Kenya shillings, but I want to do better than that. There is an incentive for raising more – if you raise 25,000 shillings and above, you enter into a raffle and stand a chance to win a flight over Mt Kenya. That should motivate some people.

Personally I have been on flights over mountains in Kenya. In one, a young pilot kept on doing what he called “swooping down for a closer look”. I am glad I had a vomit bag and sweets. So unless the free flight is in a luxury jet, I will pass thank you.

I know you are asking where my sense of adventure is, but I am thinking of doing a mountain bike race, am I not?

I would want to beat that 25,000 by a very far margin. I have just downloaded the sponsorship from and I will be coming to you soon.

Thanks to all who have pledged their support. Oh, and my boss just offered me branded gear.
