My story

In July 2010, John Alexander and Daniel McCafferty headed to the North African skies to reach the summit of the highest peak in North Africa, this was a three-day expedition from Imlil at the base of the High Atlas. Known locally as Jebel Toubkal, Mt Toubkal stands 4167m above sea level (13,700 ft) and commands superb views of the High Atlas Mountains.

For an added challenge, John Alexander carried a guitar to the top of the mountain and performed a song he had specially written.

Through this challenge we raised money for Macmillan Cancer Support who are one of the largest British charities and provides specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer.

We are pleased that our efforts have managed to raise £1,748.00 (so far).

Thanks to everyone that sponsored us!
