Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My next gung ho assignment for myself is to attempt a big hump called Kilimanjaro, highest freestanding mountain in the world and indeed on the African continent, 5,895 metres in an upward direction with only my own chicken like legs to do it with, guaranteed to give me a hard time & much suffering, possible death - that's worth a few quid innit?! It's said you can lose your marbles up there, so I'm hoping I will be able to reverse this effect and actually find mine, which have been missing for many years.

This ridiculous undertaking is done in the memory of my brilliant parents, Marj & Wilf Macrow who were stolen from us by this unkind disease, I would dearly like to help others where support was lacking for us. Lets crack this and raise some dosh in aid of most of us who will end up raving in our latter years. Alzheimers does not discriminate in any way. We can climb many mountains but it will get us in the end - lets fight this shit. I promise I will do the hard work, you can donate from your warm sofa. I wont bang on about summit day beginning at midnight for up to 14 hours of high altitude trekking in possible -20 degrees. And I hate the cold. It's the memory of our mom that will get me up there not my actual chicken legs.

Your money will not go toward my trek - I'm funding this out of my own pittance so every penny of yours will go to this epic cause of mine (quickly please - I'm knocking on already) & honour that brave woman who expelled me from her womb.

Please please please help - I have to raise a huge amount to do this and cant do it without your help. If I have ever given you a gurn - give me something back ;)
