2021 marks my 50th birthday, and I decided to climb Ben Nevis on my birthday. 

A fairly crazy decision as I am out of condition and have definitely gained weight during lock down and it is only 2 months until my birthday :-O.

My beautiful daughters Katherine and Shannon have kindly agreed to accompany me, and my hubby Karl will be cheering us on from base camp :'D

Normally I do things like this for me and don't try and get anyone to donate money for any causes. But this year I have decided to ask my friends and family to help me celebrate this milestone birthday and mad expedition by making a donation to this cause.

One seedling costs about £2 to grow, so how many trees can we all plant and grow, I am hoping at least 100.

Thank you all for your generosity

Much of Borneo's peat-swamp forests have been drained and degraded by human activity, which causes the peat to dry out and become highly flammable. In 2015, forest fires ravaged millions of hectares of forest, burning for weeks on end. Vast areas of forest and their biodiversity were lost, the health impacts for local people were huge, and extensive peat carbon stores were released into the global atmosphere. Help Borneo Nature Trust kickstart their 1 million trees campaign to restore a critical peat-swamp forest ecosystem in Borneo, home to the worlds largest protected population of orangutans. They aim to grow, plant and protect 1 million trees by 2025, sequestering carbon to lead the fight against climate change and protecting a vast biodiversity-rich rainforest.
