In June I will be climbing three of Central Europes highest peaks; Mont Maudit, Montblanc Du Tacul and the highest Mont Blanc. This includes sleeping in the odd snow hole at over 4000m between mountains.

Whilst this has been a life long ambition of mine (and the whole trip is entirely self funded) I have decided to raise money for a fantastic cause at the same time.

So please dig deep and support in any way you can, HSBC have matched the first £500 it would be great to get over £1,500.

Aberlour is a Scottish childrens charity which does stunning work providing real practical help and support to over 6,000 of Scotlands most vulnerable children, young people and their families every year.

Thanks for your support I appreciate it and the children Aberlour helps will appreciate it even more.
