This Christmas I will be flying to Argentina to attempt to climb Mount Aconcagua – the highest mountain in South America, and the highest in the world outside of the Himalayas!

I will be climbing in aid of The Passage, which is the homeless drop-in centre based in Victoria.  It provides people living on the street with both immediate, basic care plus the chance to make a new start in their lives. Up to 200 people use the day centre every day, and its 48-bed hostel is filled every night. This really is a worthy charity, which will benefit enormously from your support, given that it depends heavily on voluntary contributions to survive.

You can sponsor me and help support this fantastic charity by clicking on the “Donate Now” button at the top of this page. Your details are safe and won’t be sent on to anyone, and you won’t get any unwanted emails. The money you donate will be paid directly to The Passage, who will also receive the Gift Aid (assuming you are a UK taxpayer) – so as well as being easy for you, the charity also gets a bigger donation.

So while you are all digging into your Christmas turkey, please think of me on a cold mountain and dig deep to support this fantastic charity!

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Patrick
