I'm climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest stand alone mountain in the world and the highest point on the African continent, with my brother-in-law Barry.

At some 19,341 feet tall, it's a hell of a challenge, both physically and mentally, and we're doing it all in the name of the British Heart Foundation (BHF), hoping to raise a small amount of money and a whole lot of awareness for this great charity.

It's a bit of a cliche but it's true - heart disease has touched every one of us in some way - whether through family, friends or colleagues. I, myself, have lost my Mum and a best friend both to heart conditions.
