So here we are - Michelle Christmas, Mark Collins & Laura Batchelor are setting off for the craziest 9 days I think we've ever signed up for.  We're trekking Kilimanjaro to raise much needed funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.  "Kili", as it is fondly known, towers 5,895m (19,340ft) above the plains of Tanzania, and is the world's tallest walkable mountain - so this is no stroll in the park!

Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. They provide practical, medical and financial support and push for better cancer care.  For anyone who has ever been in contact with Macmillan, you know their support is invaluable.  They rely on supporters for 99% of their income. Without you, they couldn't provide any of their services for people living with cancer.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now - and wish us the best of luck!
