Five fat London Cab Drivers, collectively known as Cabbies Do Kilimanjaro who are fundraising to raise £20k for www.taxicharity.org
So it’s 3 months from today that The New Slim Look #CabbiesDoKili Team make that trip to Heathrow and then the long flight to Tanzania.
After a couple of weeks turning the FULL ON BUTTON OFF it’s time to SWITCH IT BACK ON and go for it . It’s good to kick back a little bit and let your body recover from the hammering it has taken but now we have to mean business. The team have a training day in BOXHILL coming up with a 10mile + Hike around the famous Surrey Hills then the last BIG TEST will be the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in August. A very tough 24.5 Mile Hike over 3 Yorkshire Peaks and needs to be completed in UNDER 12 hrs to become a member of the coverted YORKSHIRE 3 PEAKS CLUB .
The team were together again on Wednesday meeting Mr Wemae Kibona at The Tanzania High Commission in London to discuss our forthcoming trip to this FANTASTIC country and to how we can be of assistance in our privalidged appointment as Tourist Ambassadors.
It was our pleasure and look forward to working with Tanzania Tourist Board Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) on this trip and in the future . All that’s needed now is for the TEAM TO FOR-FILL OUR PROMISES AND HIT OUR PERSONAL GOALS.
The team are now only three months away from climbing Kilimanjaro and have lost an amazing 141 pounds between them. Earlier this week, they were delighted to find out that they have been made tourism ambassadors for Tanzania and were guests this week of the Tanzanian High Commission in London
Story so far...
We are five fat cabbies! Five middle aged fat London cabbies. With a mission. Well, actually, we have two missions. The first stage is to lose a combined weight of 25 stone between us. And then, once we’ve climbed that mountain, we’re off to Tanzania to take a stroll up Africa’s highest mountain - Kilimanjaro. Impossible? We don’t think so and we’re a bunch of committed and positive people. And we believe that this is possible. Climbing Kilimanjaro is not for the feint hearted and a massive achievement. But to do this, a certain level of fitness, stamina and determination is needed. We may not have the fitness and stamina just yet. But determination- we have bundles. So how are we going to do what seems to be impossible?
It all started with a tweet - “Any other cabbies out there fancy losing weight with me and then climb Kilimanjaro?” I actually didn’t think too many people would be that interested. There was the expected copious amount of leg pulling but what emerged was a group of cabbies who were as serious about this as I was. I started to get a lot of private messages enquiring about this and we’ve ended up with a group of seven cabbies who have committed ourselves from start to finish.
So, here we are. All with the same goals in sight. Between us, we vary from 22 stone down to 16 and we all have individual targets as far as weight loss is concerned. But with a combined weight of 25 stone to lose, we’ve got to get going and start our new regimes.
We’ve all embarked on our new regimes. Particularly with eating and exercise. Out with the McDonald’s breakfasts and in with porridge’s, poached eggs and muesli!
