Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After having walked the Race for Life 5 times, and completed the Half Moon in London last May, I have decided that I'm ready for something bigger now......

So in October, I, along with 4 friends, will be attempting to climb Africa's highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro!!  Well, if Chris Moyles can do it, so can I!!

Are you mad, I hear you cry!  So, why am I doing this?  Well, apart from agreeing to do it after a night full of alcohol, I just feel it's a challenge worth trying whilst I still have my own hair and teeth!

Also, as most of you probably know, I lost my beautiful mum last November and feel this is a fitting tribute to her memory.  Therefore I will be raising money for Diabetes UK, as my mum was a sufferer and it turned out to be a significant contributory factor in her untimely passing.  She was only 57.

I can already hear her shouting "well you'd better lose some weight now then". Yes mum, I promise!

Any donation would be very gratefully received, and will go towards finding out more about this killer, and ever present, disease and helping to raise awareness of the severity of Diabetes.

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.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
