Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.<br><font color="#000000"><br>So, why have I asked you to visit? Well, in early 2011 I, along with
five friends, will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for the Samantha
Dickson Brain Tumour Trust (SDBTT). SDBTT is the leading charity
dedicated to adult and childhood brain tumour research in the UK. Their
aim is to raise awareness, support and funds for brain tumour research
to help fight this devastating disease and give hope to brain tumour
patients in the future.</font> <br><br><font color="#000000">We're doing this because we lost a very
dear friend of ours (Phil Garner) last year to this cruel disease. We
all belong to a musical theatre group (Bournville Musical Theatre
Company) and Phil was our director. He was a truly inspirational man, a
great director and good friend. Phil was diagnosed with a very
agressive form of brain tumour (Glioblastoma Multiforme) in July 2009
and sadly died just weeks later. <br><br></font>
<p><font color="#000000">We decided to take on this challenge to not
only raise money for a good cause, but to do something that would
stretch us all personally and be a fitting tribute to Phil.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The climb will take us up the Machame Route
from the south side of Kilimanjaro, we should all reach the 5896m
(19,340 ft) summit by about the 6th day (with hopefully no altitude
sickness along the way).</font> </p>
