As dawn broke on 5 Feb all 11 of our group summitted and stood, exhausted and exhilerated, at 19,340 feet on Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro, and the roof of Africa.

Many thanks to all those who have sponsored me - your support made the discomfort, lack of sleep and 8 days without a beer all the more worthwhile and I hope that the money we have raised will make a difference to the vital work which the Stroke Association is doing.
