Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Now, I'm not one for asking for money for any old thing. I've always believed that anyone can give something up, but only the strongest can take something on...

So, on 4th June I'm going to embark on my biggest physical challenge yet. I'll be joining a group of my equally mad colleagues to trek up the 3 highest mountains in Wales (Snowdon: 1,085 m or 3,560 ft), England (Scarfell Pike: 978 m or 3,209 ft) and Scotland (Ben Nevis: 1,344 m or 4,409 ft) - in that very order - in just 24 hours!! (Yep, no sleep for me!!)

We'll be raising money for KidsOut - a charity which makes a real difference to the lives of children living in refuge, economic hardship or with other acute disadvantages.

I personally have to raise £500 by the end of May for this great charity, so I am hoping you can find it in your hearts (and handbags!) to dig deep and support me on this mission. To prove I'm not a slacker and that I am taking this seriously, I promise to post regular updates of my training for this event, so you can at least see your money is spurring me on!! (And believe me, I'll need the encouragement! I have NEVER walked up a single mountain, let alone 3 in 24 hours!!  Oh, and I don't even own a pair of walking boots... yet!)

This is going to be one heck of an emotional as well as a physical journey for me... Let the madness commence!!UK
