We all need to fight cancer - one way or another - and this is my way of doing it.  

Now, to get rid of the excess timber and get my fitness levels back up, to give me the best chance of getting to the summit!!   I will be recording video diaries so you can see my progress over the next few months and it would mean so much if you could help me get to my target of £5000.  

This trip should have happened in Feb 2021 - postponed twice due to Covid - third time lucky.  I was 50 in Feb 2021 - so what better way to mark it than to take on the world's highest free-standing mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. 

I'm asthmatic, on inhalers everyday for life, and will no doubt find this trek hard.  We'll be trekking to a staggering 5,895m above sea level; I've been at 4600m before and that was hard - oxygen levels are low!    

We'll be trekking through savannah, cloud forest, moorland, and alpine desert. Camping on route, and no proper washing facilities, it's not going to be easy (and we won't be smelling of roses either).   

Thanks for supporting me, it means so much!
