Climbing Elbrus to help Ukrainian children

Dear friend,

Almost a year after the successful completion of my Kilimanjaro charity project I have decided to conquer Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe, in order to raise money to purchase cancer treatment equipment for Zhytomyr Children’s Hospital in Ukraine.

Every year approximately 40 children are diagnosed with leukemia (type of cancer) in Zhytomyr region. The state support is not sufficient to treat these children. Your kind donations will be used to purchase much needed medical equipment which will help save 20-30 children every year.

Reaching the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in September 2009 was one of the toughest and memorable achievements of my life; but watching Ukrainian orphans receiving medical supplies, as a result of generous donations to my charity project, was one my most joyful ones. With your help we will try to acheve even greater results with our Elbrus charity project.    

I will be fully financing my expedition costs and all money raised through your generous donations will go towards helping these poor children overcome this life changing disease.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Sincerely yours,

Konstantin
