Story

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :-)

As you are all most likely aware I am climbing Kilimanjaro in Tanzania at the beginning of July. Eek it is fast approaching.

I am doing this mainly for a personal challenge and to experience some wonderful sights, sounds and feelings whilst embarking on this   mammoth challenge.

Just to give you a tad bit of background, I will be leaving the UK for Africa on the 5th July, I will be trekking for 6 days starting in the rainforest in 30 degree heat right through to when we reach the top where it can be upto -20 degrees at night. I will be walking for 6-8 hours a day waking up in the early am until the final summit day where it will be a 13-15hour trek starting at midnight. The trek to the top and back is 6 days in total, going to be partying when back at a suitable ground level and back to the UK on the 15th. It is going to be a mission and a half but I am so so excited!! 

I have decided that as this is such a big challenge I would like to try and raise a bit of money for Cancer Research dedicating this to everyone I know who has suffered throughout my lifetime. I'm sure we all know and love someone that has been effected by Cancer, so this is our opportunity to give a little and try and help evolve the research process that continues day in and day out. Please don't feel pressured into giving, I just thought it would be a nice opportunity and way to raise some money for a charity close to my heart :-) So if you do feel generous, thank you very much for supporting!!
