Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On May 26th 2012 I will be attempting to climb the 86 flights of stairs from ground level to the observation deck of the Empire state building in New York city. In all honesty that sounds like enough, but I will be doing it whilst carrying 125kg in weight. The whole challenge will take about 3 hours (assuming I finish), and me and my support team are making a documentary of my training and the challenge to prove I actually did it, and because its apparently funny to watch me fall over a lot trying to get my back pack on.

I have some corporate sponsorship, and an awful lot of people have given me donations already, but a lot of people have been asking how they can donate as well so I've set up this page.

The Myositis Support Group is a UK charity providing advice and support to individuals and their families affected by Dermatomyositis, Polymyositis, Inclusion Body Myositis and Juvenile Dermatomyositis. If you'd like to know more please visit www.myositis.org.uk/

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
