Jaz Bahia sets sights on Mount Kilimanjaro for charity<\/h3>\n
\"\"JAZ Bahia admits he\u2019s always fancied going up in the world \u2013 and he will with a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro.<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The West Bromwich Building Society employee will take to the skies up Africa\u2019s highest mountain this September to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

His charity drive will coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Black Country Asian Business Association (BCABA) of which Jaz is a board member. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

BCABA will host a special awards dinner in June and have chosen to support Macmillan Cancer Support\u2019s who are celebrating their Centenary year.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI know we\u2019ve all got high hopes in life but I never quite had Mount Kilimanjaro in mind,\u201d Jaz said about his climb.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cYet that\u2019s the lofty ambition I\u2019ve set myself \u2013 to climb Africa\u2019s highest mountain to raise money for that marvellous charity, Macmillan Cancer Support.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I have to admit that my climbing experience to date has been limited to a stroll around the Wrekin and Level 3 of Merry Hill so Kilimanjaro, measuring a modest little 19,341 ft, will be something of a challenge!\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Jaz\u2019s climb is expected to take ten days to complete. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He adds: \u201cI suppose, like most people, you reach a stage in life where you want to do something out of the ordinary \u2013 and, for me, climbing Kilimanjaro comes into that category.\u00a0And doing this for a charity like Macmillan makes that sense of personal achievement even greater.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it will be a daunting challenge, helping Macmillan will make it all worthwhile. I am hoping that people will support me with a contribution which will not just raise my spirits but, above all, will raise money for this wonderful charity.\u201d<\/div>\n
