September 2024

Due to bad weather in the high mountains and the issues we had with flooding and being cut off in the Swiss mountain village of Sass fee/Grund we could not complete the challenge and managed x3 of the intended x5 4,000m mountains, i will be heading back to the Alps in 2025 to restart the challenge again and completed it, my Just giving page will remain open until i complete my fundraiser, thank you for all your support it has been fantastic.

Charlie would have been Five on the 19th September 2023, but sadly only lived for his 1st Birthday and this was spent on the Intensive Care Unit at Alderhey. I aim to raise £5,000 in his memory for Together for Short Lives and keep helping other seriously ill children in his memory.

My challenge will involve climbing 5, 4000m Alpine mountains in 2025.

This will be a big challenge with Altitude, Glacier crossings and logistics of moving through the countries, all contributing to an epic time in the mountains, i will be carrying Charlie’s

dummy and a very special piece of jewellery, the inner heart was placed in Charlie hand when he went he gained angel wings and we have the outer piece, which i will be carrying with me.

Please support my challenge and donate any amount you can, every £1 raised will contribute to raising my total and help seriously ill children and their families.

Together for Short Lives is the UK charity that is here to make sure the 99,000 seriously ill children and their families can make the most of every moment they have together – whether that’s for years, months or only hours. Many of these children have complex conditions and need specialist care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our ‘to do’ list is growing daily, and we have one bold ambition: To reach every family caring for a seriously ill child who needs help.
