It's time for a new challenge!

In September 2013 I'll be heading to Ecuador to climb three progressively larger volcanoes before attempting the fourth summit of Mount Cotopaxi. We will be climbing through the early hours of the morning with ice axes, ropes and crampons. It's a bit biggger than Kilimanjaro and is apparently more challenging. Having dragged my sorry backside up Kili in 2010 this is more than slightly worrying!

I'll be raising money for Save the Children a fantastic charity that works in 120 countries to save children’s lives, fight for their rights and help them fulfil their potential.

They support the EVERY ONE campaign which aims to reduce child mortality around the world and lift children out of poverty in the U.K

Monies raised can provide Anti-Bullying campaigns in the U.K, vital "New Mum" kits in the third world or support to the children who have fled Syria.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please dig deep and donate as much as you can.

Thank you!!

Much love,
