Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Friday 11th February 2011 I am leaving on a jet plane for Tanzania to embark on one of the biggest challenges of my life........climbing Mount Killimanjaro!

Why....good question but actually I do have an answer. On a night out, my friend Lynn told me she and 4 gym buddies were going to climb Killi, I thougth Fantastic!  What an adventure...

I asked to join the group and was welcomed with open arms and a tread mill!. The training has been challenging. At times I could hardly walk as muscles came to life that had been dormant...well forever.

Also I'm going to be 50 on the 13th February and if I was ever going to heave myself off the couch and do something so far out of my comfort zone it was now or never.

Christies Hospital was the charity we all decided to support as we have all had experience of the fantastic work they do. Not only in the medical and pastoral care they give to their patients and their families but also the constant research they undertake to find better ways of treating and curing cancer.

We are all self funding so whatever you donate will go to Christie's  and knowing I have your support will spur me on to reach for the top!

Thank you each and every one of you.
