No mountain is tall enough for Arif - even Killamanjaro

Arif Mohid, one of our 2nd Dan Instructors recently returned from a very tired Charity Fund Raising effort. He raised over £3000.00 for the Afghan Children Prosthetic Appeal. It was for children who's limbs had been blown off during the war in Afghanistan. In order to raise money he pledged to climb Mount Killamanjaro in Tanzania. It is the world's tallest free-standing mountain.
