I am attempting the Everest in the Alps Challenge where I will ascend the height of Mount Everest (8848 metres) in four days in the Alps. It has been described as the toughest four days on skis and equivalent to running 3 marathons back to back. I will be burning up to 12000 calories per day.

I am doing this in memory of my friend Roger Smith who was a rugby team mate at Sevenoaks rugby club and fishing buddy of mine. We sadly lost Roger to a brain tumour which has cruelly robbed his young daughter Jemima of her Dad, and friends and family of a much loved man.

The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, they are moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour. They are set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. And the Brain Tumour Trust are doing it right now. Because they understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour a cure really can't wait. 

Our team (Colin Camilla Ed and Alex) have been training hard and are determined to conquer this challenge and this disease,  please help us do this, every penny donated goes directly to this charity.
