As many of you will know Kilimanjaro has been a dream of mine for many years. On Sunday 25th February I reached the summit, Uhuru Peak (5,895m) meaning I had conquered one of the 7 summits of the world. This makes me the first person with Type 1 Diabetes and AVP-D to stand at the summit, but hopefully not the last!

I didn’t want to raise money prior to the hike as I knew it would be a huge challenge given my medical conditions. But now having achieved my goal I would love to ask any friends or family to donate to one of these amazing causes.
