Story

WELL I DONE IT!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST AND HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE.

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT AND DONATIONS.

LOOKING FOR MY NEXT CHALLANGE NOW

On the 20th Jan 2011 I am going to climb Kilimanjaro. As most of you know I am not actually the fittest person around and the most walking\crawling I do is to and from the pub!!So I have set myself this challenge and will be training hard over the next year to make sure I get my arse up that mountain.

The Charity I am fundraising for is Lupus UK. Lupus it is caused by the body's immune system which normally protects us by fighting infections, to attack the body tissues which causes inflammation in those tissues. This means that people with Lupus will have different symptons, depending on which part of the body is being attacked.Joints can be very painful, skin sensitive, severe tiredness, poor circulation and internal organs such as the heart and kidneys effected are some of the symptons of Lupus.
