Several years ago, I attempted to climb an electricity pylon but didn't quite make it to the top. The nerves kicked in two-thirds of the way up and I clambered down, with the remaining third unconquered!

When I got to the bottom, I immediately wished I'd pushed on - but there was no second go. As it's not every day there's a chance to climb a pylon, I grasped this rare opportunity to do something a bit different to raise money for charity - especially as it's for the Alzheimer's Society.

The Society does so much to meet the needs of people affected by dementia, inspiring change and advancing research. In 2015/16 for every £1 received, 89p was spent on directly improving the lives of those living with the disease, with the remaining 11p going towards generating future income.

Present day.  It will still be a big challenge, I'm still not very good with heights and I'll definitely be a bit scared!

But - please donate whatever you can; because this time I will  reach the summit!
