I'm going to need some help with motivation: what suggestions do people have for a play list to keep me going? I think "encore un fois" by Sash is a good starting place!

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I live in Knaresborough and I'm a GP in neighbouring Ripon at North House Surgery. I've also been a keen climber for many years and was inspired to do something to help by my own son. He raised money by going to school dressed as a doctor to help Sadie Rose. I thought I could do something too.</p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">So on 29th March 2012, I'm aiming to climb 1000m at Harrogate Climbing Centre at Hornbeam Park in Harrogate in aid of the Sadie Rose Appeal. I hope to raise£1500.</span></p> <p> </p> <div style="line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Marker Felt'; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">That's equivalent to climbing the tower of York minster 20 times or 3 Eiffel towers!</span></span></div> <div style="line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Marker Felt'; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I hope to complete this challenge in 6 hours or less and during that time I will be climbing on vertical or overhanging walls.</span></span></div> <div style="line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Marker Felt'; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">This is nothing compared to the challenges that Sadie Rose and her family face as a result of her illness and it is really important that people give whatever they can to support her, no matter how small the amount. </span></span></div> <div style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">You can find further details of the appeal <a title="The Sadie Rose Clifford Appeal" href="http://www.sadierosecliffordappeal.co.uk">here</a></span></span></div> <p> </p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
