Anna and Ashley Hoy Climb For A Cause


Hi friends!


As a mother-daughter duo, we have set some high goals this year. We will be adding to our adventure book by pursuing one of the greatest adventures of our lives... climbing the highest free standing mountain in the world, Mt. Kilimanjaro!

We will be making this 7-9 day hike in Tanzania, Africa to raise $$ and awareness for The Small Things, an NGO that provides financial and project support for orphaned and vulnerable children of the Nkoaranga Orphanage and surrounding community. This organization is working extremely hard to make a difference in the lives of the children and people of Nkoaranga, Tanzania, by fostering a philosophy of sustainable development.

Please consider making a donation towards the cause, ultimately providing the children of the Nkoaranga a brighter and happier future. We would be extremely grateful for any support, big or small.

Asante Sana Sana Sana!!!
("Thank you very, very, very much" in Swahili)
