The sections of this stage were completed in July 2011 and January 2012 respectively. These ventures were funded at a cost of R 80 000 and R 150 000 respectively, by Ray, using his own savings and personal donations from family, friends, colleagues and associates.
As a result of experience gained on Ray’s two Mount Kilimanjaro expeditions, Ray contacted The Sunflower Fund and the South African National Blood Transfusion Service (SANBS) and asked if he could promote their causes during his Aconcagua climb. They approved and both institutions Logos were flown high on Aconcagua’s summit.
