Story

Hi. Next March I plan to go up Kilimanjaro in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Now you may be shaking your head and start muttering something about me being crazy, but I do enjoy going up hills for no particular reason, so going up a mountain for a specific reason seems to make sense to me.

Six years ago my dad died from cancer so I'll be doing this in his memory. Marie Curie nurses do a great job in looking after people with terminal cancer and I'm pretty pleased I have the chance to help them and see one of the best parts of the natural world.

So help me get £3000, help me get up the mountain and help people with cancer feel better.
Plus afterwards you'll have that special feeling of being a really lovely and wonderful person.
