Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Five years ago, I took part in Deloitte's Ride across Britain to raise money for the British Paralympic team - which took me on an epic cycle ride of just under 1,000 miles.  It was an amazing experience and I was thrilled by those of you who supported me then.

This year, I have decided to climb the highest mountain in mainland Spain in the Sierra Nevada in aid of Deloitte's National Charities: Alzheimer's Society, Prostate Cancer UK and Mind.  These are 3 fantastic causes.  As three of my nieces and nephews and several good friends have all been affected badly by depression and have struggled to find good support, Mind is particularly personal to me.  It provides information and support to those suffering from mental illness and, just as important, to those living alongside them.

I am joining a team of 70 Deloitte partners and staff who will be climbing Mulhacen over 2 days.  The first day will be 5-6 hours trek through the Poqueira Gorge before overnighting in a refuge.  The next day will be tough - 3 .5 hours climb to the summit then 4-5 hours descent.  I have not attempted anything this tough for 25 years - so your encouragement is vital to me.  All money raised will go directly to the charities as all of us are paying our own costs.
