I think it's fair to say I am officially going through an early mid life crisis!!!!

My crisis has led to me agreeing to climb Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles!!! (4409ft above sea level!).

Myself and 5 colleagues are hoping to reach the summit on the 3rd July 2010. We are climbing to raise funds for the Grace House Children's hospice appeal. Grace House are raising funds to build, equip and run an eight bed children's hospice for children across the North East of England.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for donating x
