Myself Colin Johnson and two others buddies are planning to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in February 2010.  God knows why, I think I must be having a mid life type crisis!!  How an overweight, out of shape office bound lump like me is going to make it I don't know.  But hey, if Chris Moyles can do it, why can't I !!

Check out my activity log below......

For the record, we are paying all travel costs, all event costs, in fact absolutely all costs ourselves so any donations you do decide to make will go 100% (less the 5% that Justgiving take to the NSPCC).

Please be generous and thanks for taking the time to log on.  I have chosen the NSPCC because I believe they do awesome work for kids who just don't get a fair chance, remember most of the time they can't really speak up for themselves.
