Story
I have completed the West Highland Way and the London Marathon twice, along with the the Green Light Around the Rock Ultra Marathon in aid of Headway Jersey.
I choose Headway as my childhood pal, Frank, accesses the centre and the charity have helped him greatly. I also volunteer for the charity in a variety of ways and Headway feels like family to me now.
This is my most physically demanding challenge yet - ascending and descending Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world, in under 24 hours. Most people who climb this mountain take at least 6 days.
The majority of this challenge is done at altitude - 3000 meters above sea level. This can have a tremendous impact on the body, effecting breathing, ability and mental agility.
