In September 2010, Tony Camilleri, a Maltese Manchester United fanatic living in Manchester, is about to take on one of the biggest challenges - climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in support of the tireless and tremendous work SSAFA do for our servicemen and women. Target is to raise £100,000.

 


 
''My friends Ryan Giggs and David Beckham have already pledged their support so please follow their lead and help me raise my target of £100,000!


'I’ve know Tony for many years and this is definitely the toughest challenge he has ever taken on. I’m supporting him with his efforts to raise funds for SSAFA Forces Help and wish him the best of luck with his endeavours' – Ryan Giggs


 
'It’s great to see Tony supporting the troops by taking on this demanding climb. I’ve no doubt that he will make it to the top and along the way make a massive difference by raising awareness and money for SSAFA Forces Help' – David Beckham


 
''What these men and women do for us is brave, admirable and heroic. In 2010 SSAFA celebrates 125 years of supporting the people who serve in our armed forces, as well as their families.  The services are freely available to those associated with the armed forces, giving them assistance with emotional, financial and practical issues. For more information on the important work carried out by SSAFA, visit their website at www.ssafa.org.uk


 
''My biggest challenge in all of this is not necessarily reaching the top of one of the world’s tallest freestanding mountains (obviously this will be difficult!) but to raise awareness for SSAFA; as well as my own goal of raising over £100,000 for this charity. I would like to ask you to put your hands in your pockets and sponsor what I think will be the most talked about climb since Cheryl Cole conquered the mountain in 2009!''
