Craig's climb raises £4.5k for kids

Company director scales African peak

A local company director has raised £4,500 for charity after scaling Mount Kilamanjaro.

Craig Mitchell of chartered accountants Brown Craine & Co completed the adventure earlier this year, after just 12 months of training.

The proceeds from his 5,895 metre high trek are all going to the Isle of Man Children's Centre.

Craig described it as a 'truly incredible experience with the odd hair raising moment along the way'.

He added 'the Children’s Centre is an extraordinary charity and they do a lot of great work here on the Island.'

'They provide vital services to over a 1,000 children, young people and families each and every week and I’m delighted that my efforts, and those of my fellow trekkers, will have helped the charity to raise much needed funding'.
