We all know that charities are having a really difficult time at the moment and are more in need than ever of public support.

As we can't go very far at the minute, we thought we would do a bit of mountain climbing on our stairs during May! Mum and I thought we would tackle Mount Blanc (2028 flights) and Addi is going to scale the Sydney Opera House (28 flights). We are going to fundraise for both Marie Curie Liverpool, who were brilliant with both dad and our family friend when they needed the support, and Maggie's Merseyside. This charity based at Clatterbridge offers support for Cancer patients and their families, and is an organization I support as part of the staff at Birkenhead Sixth Form College.

We will record our progress on a tally chart with one tally for every ten flights! Anything anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. If you donate, click the first donate button Maggie's and the second for Marie Curie. Thank you so
