I am raising money for Alzheimers Scotland by climbing the 7 highest mountains in Scotland over a period of 7 days. Each mountain will be started from as close to sea level as possible which means by the end I will have climbed the height of Mount Everest (The highest mountain in the world). The challenge will start on Saturday the 7th of August.

Scotland's 7 highest mountains total height- 29455 feet

Mount Everest total height- 29032 feet

I am doing this in rememberance of my Grandad Bill who suffered from dementia in the latter stages of his life before sadly passing in 2017. While studying at university I stayed with my Grandad in Broughty Ferry for a short time and witnessed first hand what this awful disease can do to a person. My grandad had a loving family around him to help him through the last stages of his life. Unfortunately a lot of alzheimers and dementia sufferers aren't as lucky. The money donated to my fundraiser will help ensure no one has to go through it alone.

I have set a target of £1345. The height of the highest mountain I will climb (Ben Nevis) in metres.
