Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For many years I have envied the adventures and challenges that friends and family have undertaken all across the globe, but always made excuses (too fat, unfit, family commitments, cost, etc etc…) why I could or should not.

So with support from my family and friends, I finally plucked up the courage to sign up for the 2013 MacMillan Kilimanjaro Hiking Challenge, and hopefully do some good by raising money for this worthwhile charity into the bargain!

There are many deserving causes, but cancer and its effects seems to touch the lives of most of us at some point and I am no exception having lost my mother to this terrible disease in 1996.

So what does the trek involve? Well, it is eight days of hiking through a variety of terrain, walking 5 – 14 hours per day, rough camping and altitude sickness is an issue.

I am aiming to raise £5000 over the next few months - so if you any ideas, can offer help or support in any way or would like to make a donation, I would greatly appreciate it.

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.

Thanks for your support.
