Servest people taking part are Little Hands charity co-ordinator Donna Legge, wife of Servest chief executive Rob Legge, directors Paul Middleton and Stuart Buswell, and Isobel Buswell, Vince Treadgold, CJ Howden, Alex Diaz and Kelly Francis.

They hope to raise �10,000. Donations can be made at www.justgiving.com/Servest-Kilimanjaro-Challenge
