As you can see, though, this was all one gigantic ruse to promote the most ostentatious new logo unveilling in the history of branding, but, yes that is our slightly reworked logo that Neil is proudly displaying. In the next couple of weeks, not only will this website have a slightly new look about it, but you will be able to purchase T-shirts, hats, buttons, coffee cups, and all sorts of memorabilia with the new Radio Free Skaro logo on it (along with a few extra surprises). Hooray!

Neil, glad to have you “down and safe”, as it were, but your descent from Cloud 9 will probably take a little while longer.

As you read this, our friend Neil Perryman is either on a plane to Africa, in Africa preparing for his climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, or at the very top of the mountain itself, admiring the view and his accomplishment whilst breathing deeply into a respirator.

We only met Neil for the first time in February at Gallifrey 20 in Los Angeles, but we here at Radio Free Skaro immediately hit if off with him, along with the rest of the Tachyon TV entourage. When we heard that Neil was joining an expedition to climb Kilimanjaro for charity, we knew that we had to do our best to help, so we implored you, our dear listeners, to come forward and give what you could towards this noble cause.

And you all came through in spades. Neil’s target of raising £3,000 was shattered by almost £1,000 thanks to numerous generous donations. Well over £400 (a very conservative estimate indeed) was donated by Radio Free Skaro listeners, or, at least by people who were kind enough to mentions us when they donated.

Thank you, everyone, not only for all your kind donations to UNICEF, but for listening to us prattle on week after week about Neil’s worthy trek. Most of you have never even met any of us, or Neil, yet you still freely gave what money you could. We really appreciate what you have contributed to the cause, and we know that Neil is very humbled and pleased, as well.

Thanks again, and please note that donations can still be given to Neil’s cause until January 2010 by visiting the Just Giving website.

Cheers,

The Three Who Rule (Warren, Steven, and Chris)

On June 10, 2009, Radio Free Skaro’s good friend Neil Perryman (of Tachyon TV fame), along with Palma Carter, will attempt to climb the highest free-standing mountain in the world – Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. At a height of 19,340 feet or 5,900 metres (that’s almost six kilometres!), Mt Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest volcano in the world.

The trek will take Neil and Palma through the rainforests of Tanzania and up the Lemosho route of the mountain over 11 gruelling days and nights, ascending almost six kilometres and walking over 90 kilometres in total. In addition to covering all of their expedition costs themselves, Neil and Palma will be aiming to raise over £3000 in donations for UNICEF, and they are asking for help to meet this ambitious target.

Please join us here at radiofreeskaro.com in donating to this worthy cause. Just click on the “justgiving” button at the top of the right hand column on our home page. Donating through justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor them: UNICEF UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Follow Neil and Palma’s adventure via their blog

UPDATE: Neil has also started to set up a Doctor Who charity auction to help with his quest. Read about it here!

Thanks,

Radio Free Skaro
