<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">On 22 September my friend Tim and I will set off to attempt to climb the&nbsp;tallest mountain in Africa, and one of the highest peaks in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">As many of you will know my Mum was diagnosed with tonsil cancer around a year ago and has since had to endure radiotherapy chemotherapy and&nbsp;three operations.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">There isn't much you can do for someone who has to&nbsp;undergo cancer treatment, other than to simply be there.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">What I can do now though is try to raise as much money as possible for Action Cancer to save lives in the future and support those presently affected by cancer. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">To raise money for this worthy cause I&nbsp;have set myself the challenge of trying to conquer one of the highest peaks in the world and I would ask that you dig deep and support&nbsp;me as generously as you can.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Thanks</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Steve&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">PS If you have a donation&nbsp;figure in your head, please add a&nbsp;few quid&nbsp;for the fact I won't get a shower for 8 days,&nbsp;the altitiude sickness thats unavoidable&nbsp;on a mountain this tall, and&nbsp;the fact I have no toilet on the mountain and have to carry sealable bags!</span></p>
