I am seeking your support of my plan to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in October by making a donation, please, to Barnardo’s, the charity of which I am chairman.  You can find out more about the Team and the Trek on www.climbkiliwithus.com.

Barnardo’s works with well over 100,000 children each year through its nearly 400 services right across the United Kingdom – and they are among the most disadvantaged children in our society, chiefly because they live in poverty. Many of them have all kinds of disability. Others carry the burden of caring for one or more parents. Others struggle in the care system and struggle still more when they reach the age of 18. But they’re all children and Barnardo’s believe in children. Do you?

Every penny you give will go to Barnardo’s. Barnardo’s and I will hugely appreciate any support you can give.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barnardo's will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
