Story
THANK YOU ALL!
Thanks to all my sponsors, I have hit my fundraising target of $5,000. Actually the total we have raised together is $5,024.46. This will be used to help pay construction costs of the second house in the children's village in Olturoto. I am so grateful for everyone's generosity - having been to the previous home Kickstart sponsored in Kenya, I can assure you that these funds will be making a big difference to some wonderful children who each need our help.
If you'd like to track progress of the home and the farm, then please go to www.kickstartkidsinternational.com. Our farm is up and running and we have already gone through one harvest (of red chillies) so we are well on our way to building a sustainable future for this community.
I finished my ironman in 12:22:13, most of which I enjoyed! It was a great experience and one that was made much better thanks to my friends who came up to support me (and who claimed to be just as exhausted as me by the end!). I would have struggled so much more without them being there.
Of course, I have signed up for another one next year. Well actually two...
THANK YOU :-)

Kickstart Kids International
Please visit our main GoFundraise campaign page here: http://kickstartkidsinternational.gofundraise.com.au.
Kickstart Kids International is an Australian charitable organisation working to kickstart the lives of vulnerable children in Kenya through locally-led sustainable development.
Kickstart was founded in 2007 to support the establishment of Familia Moja Children’s Home in Kenya, which is now home to over 30 children.In 2011. A local Kenyan Non Government Organisation was formed to cover the financial contribution previously provided by Kickstart and has subsequently increased the number of children being cared for. This was a huge achievement towards kickstarting the lives of these beautiful children.
Kickstart’s success with Familia Moja is now being leveraged through a second Kenyan children’s centre, Olturoto Children’s Village (www.olturotochildrensvillage.org). This initiative is striving to achieve further local empowerment through financial and environmental sustainability. Olturoto Children's Village rescues, empowers and reintegrates (RER) orphaned and vulnerable children in Kajiado County, Kenya.
