Nicole Walton takes a trip from Mount Hawthorn to Mount Kilimanjaro for human rights

Marketforce Director of Strategy, Nicole Walton, has taken up the challenge to climb the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, in a fundraising effort for human rights on behalf of Amnesty International.

On the first of August, mother of two, Walton (left) will push the limits of her endurance to ascend Africa’s highest peak over an unforgettable 12-day journey, and has committed to raising a minimum of $10,000 to support Amnesty International’s crucial human rights work.

“Having an opportunity to support Amnesty International, hopefully inspire others to do the same and take myself right out of my comfort zone is what made me take on this challenge,” said Walton. “The additional test of thinking outside the box and creatively fundraising $10,000 is also a real challenge”.

In the true spirit of free speech Walton has teamed with The Comedy Lounge and is putting on a memorable night of laughter with International Stage Hypnotist, Mark Anthony on Saturday June 23rd at The Comedy Lounge, Charles Hotel, North Perth.  Tickets start from $30 and are available from Walton on 0413 016 595 or at www.trybooking.com/blyk.

“It is fantastic to have the support of The Comedy Lounge and Hypnotist, Mark Anthony.  Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people campaigning to protect human rights and as an organisation that is truly independent of government, business, religious or political influence, I know the funds I raise through this event are going to a fantastic cause” said Walton.
