As some of you will know, I have a passion for the outdoors and climbing mountains. In the past I have successfully summited a couple of BIG ones including Kilimanjaro (5,800m) and Mont Blanc (4,800m). But now for my toughest challenge yet - Mera Peak in Nepal (6,400m) in October.

Having raised money for various charities in the past, this time I am fundraising for Alzheimer’s Society, a cause which is personal to me and my family. My late father-in-law suffered with this cruel disease which affected not just him but also all the family around him.

The Alzheimer's Society, seeks to raise awareness of this terrible disease, and offers dedicated support to those in need, funds groundbreaking research, and campaigns for change.

So whatever you are able to donate today to help support the amazing work of the Alzheimer’s Society would be very much appreciated. All funds raised will go directly to the charity as I am self funding my trip.

Thank you for your support!
