<p>I am climbing Mount Snowdon on 23/6/2012. I am raising money to help build the Stairway To Heaven Memorial which is being constructed outside Bethnal Green Tube Station. On 3 March 1943 a crowd of people entered Bethnal Green tube station which was used at the time as an air-raid shelter. After the searchlights went on and an anti-aircraft battery a few hundred yards away in Victoria Park launched a salvo of a new type of anti-aircraft rockets the crowd surged forward. Someone tripped on the stairs causing many others to fall. 300 people were crushed into the stairwell within a few seconds, 173 of them died and over 90 were injured. The worst civilian disaster of the 2nd World War.This charity is close to my heart as my mother-in-law lost a sister on this sad day.For more information on the charity please goto <a href="http://www.stairwaytoheavenmemorial.org">www.stairwaytoheavenmemorial.org</a> Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
