In September 2012 I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

We all know someone who has been touched by cancer, and Macmillan Cancer Support do an amazing job providing support and care for those affected. I'm hugely looking forward to climbing Kili, it will be an immense personal challenge, but I'm even more proud to be raising so much money for charity at the same time.

Please donate, even if it's only a little, and please tell your friends, your family, your boss...tell everyone you know about this page, and if you can, encourage them to donate too!

I'm incredibly busy, doing a PhD, house hunting, and fundraising and training for this Kilimanjaro climb all at the same time, so I really do need all the help I can get!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity which saves me chasing people for sponsor money!

So please dig deep and donate now.
