On the 6th October 2007 I will be starting my climb up Mount Kilimanjaro (19,340 feet above sea level) which will last for ten days.

This is something I've always wanted to do, and what better excuse than to do it for charity. As you all know I'm a big lad so its going to take quite a bit of extra effort to get  myself up there  So I'll be training hard over the next 6 months to make sure I'm up to the task.

The Entertainment Software Charity (http://www.esckilimanjaro2006.com/ ) is a wonderful cause that supports disadvantaged children and youths in the UK and overseas, a proportion of the funds raised from our climb will go to very worthy Tanzanian projects.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Entertainment Software Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now and dig deep!

Many thanks for your support.
