Personal message

They say a man can't move mountains but this man is going to try to!
Ryan Roberts is climing Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Rainbows and Smiles, a charity that provides financial and emotional support to families fighting childhood cancer. Ryan is not only climbing Kili on his own - he is going to carry the weight of Roan Dales up the mountain. Roan Dales passed away 4 September 2011 from an inoperable, untreatable brain tumour. He was 5 years old. Ryan wants to raise R100,000.
