Awaz DJs climb mountain for charity
March 4, 2007

On 20th June this year, 3 intrepid DJs from Awaz FM, Glasgow’s leading Asian radio station, travel to Tanzania to undertake a gruelling 12-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of Revive Scotland, the Multiple Sclerosis charity based in Glasgow.

At 5,895m, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes on Earth and Africa’s highest peak, making this a hugely demanding challenge for Awaz Fm’s Ali Malik; Javaid Ullah and Shoket Aski. Summit day is as tough as it gets, with 1,000m of ascent and over 2,000m of descent. During the day, temperatures will rise to a warm 30°C but drop at night to a chilly -15°C. Altitude sickness is a very common problem.

They are hoping people will pledge their support for Ali, Javaid and Shoket by making a secure online donation at justgiving.com/awazfm
