In September 2022 (postponed 2 whole years due to the pandemic) myself and a group of other amazing individuals brought together by the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce will be setting off to conquer the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Sheffield Children's Hospital.

All the money raised will be going towards helping The Children's Hospital Charity transform the Cancer and Leukaemia ward at Sheffield Children's Hospital.The ward treats children from babies through to 19 year olds, in South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire and even as far south as Northampton. 

The department is one of twenty principle treatment centres in the UK and also cares for patients who have other blood problems such as bleeding and inherited disorders.

Please donate if you can, every penny really does make a difference! Thanks so much for your support.
