Maybe Tony is right - maybe I am having a slight mid life crisis - resigned, did 2 day adventure race and now climbing the highest mountain in North Africa for 5 days with no showers and 20 amazing women!

What does make sense though is the awesome charity we are doing it for. CAMFED is the campaign for Female Education. When you educate a girl in Africa, everything changes. She’ll be three times less likely to get HIV/AIDS, earn 25 percent more income and have a smaller, healthier family.

We are all paying for the trip ourselves so every penny you give goes to the charity. I need to raise £1000 in donations to do my bit - so if there are 100 people generous enough to give £10 we will be there. Feel free to give more if you wish :-)

Through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

Thank you so much x
