My story
I DID IT!
Somehow, I managed to haul myself 18,652 feet to Gilman's Point on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Others in the group weren't so lucky, with hypothermia, exhaustion, altitude sickness and a heart attack – yes, a heart attack – stopping six of my fellow trekkers in their tracks. Everyone is OK now they're back at ground level, but "I don't think he's going to make it" is a phrase I never again want to hear crackling through a walkie-talkie at 4am in -12 on the side of a mountain.
The trek was a real adventure. The first five days were some of the most beautiful trails I have ever walked, but I won't lie to you: the summit ascent was tough. We set off from base camp at 10pm, and the ensuing six hours were a gruelling nightmare. I'm writing it all up for the Belfast Telegraph, so stay tuned for the gory details.
In the meantime, many thanks to all the individuals and businesses who sponsored me. I'm still some way short of my £4,000 target, but this page will remain open for another couple of months. This is to be my final challenge for Mencap for now. I've raised more than £10,000 for them, so in 2011 I will move on to new challenges and new good causes.
