Story

Thanks for dropping by (and hopefully dropping some money into the pot?)!

Like so many of us, most of my days are spent behind a computer screen, tapping away at business challenges. But we all need to stretch our legs – at least, that's what the pesky FitBit keeps reminding me.

Last year it was the UK's Three Peaks Challenge in 24 hours (raising funds for St Barnabas – a local hospice).

For 2017, it's Kilimanjaro – Africa's highest mountain and, at circa 6,000m, a proper trek by any standards to raise funds for a very worthy charity (which I know from personal experience).

I'll be swapping the steps of stadium concourses and arena bowls, for the rocky paths to the top of Kili on a nine day trek (to the peak on 16 Feb). By all accounts, the walking is a solid challenge and the altitude (sickness) adds to the difficulty.

Please give generously so that my pain and effort is worthwhile – and that we can support a charity whose work is almost unknown and deserves more support and accolades.
