A woman who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro has hit her target of thousands of pounds that have been raised for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Sally Wilson, 42, scaled the African peak as part of a group of 19 who went on a two-week trek and has made it to her £15,500 mark.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Wokingham Times, she said: "We have returned as a family of friends who have shared a once in a lifetime experience."<\/p>\n
Ms Wilson added she is "over the moon" to have been able to raise so much money for Help for Heroes as a result of the trip.<\/p>\n
She is now planning to take on a number of new challenges in the coming months, including a trek down the Inca Trail in Peru and the 2012 London Marathon.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, 91-year-old Allen Birch collected £2,000 for Help for Heroes by climbing Mount Snowdon, reported the Kidderminster Shuttle.<\/p>\n
