Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In October, I will climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, before returning to tell the tale. I will be training long and hard to ensure i won’t fail. Rising 19,340 feet above sea level, Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the world’s highest free-standing mountain.
What will await me?
Nothing much...just avalanches, falling rocks, crevasse falls, other falls (including getting hit by falling climbers), severe exhaustion/dehydration, whiteout, hurricanes, lost tents, frostbite, vertigo, altitude sickness, witnessing accidents and deaths of other climbers.
Why on earth would I want to do this?
It will be for a great cause, of course, to raise money for Pendleside Hospice. The hospice offers short term in-patient stays for symptom control, rehabilitation and respite care for patients with cancer or other life-limiting illnesses. The hospice is a charitable organisation and all care is provided free of charge.

I have funded the trip myself which ensures ALL the money sponsored, will go directly to the charity.
