Myself and 2 friends, Simon and Rob will be embarking on a 1/4 vertical mile stair climb and the Broadgate Tower London on the 24th November.

This is apart of the Vertical climb world series. There are 35 floors and 877 steps which we will be doing 3 times!! This will total 2631 steps. This is roughly the same as climbing your stairs at home 145 times in one go.

I will then be doing a 5k Santa run the next day with Rob and his daughter!

We are raising the money to help take our friends James and Naomi's eldest daughter, Eva, to the Napa Center in America. Eva has got cerebral palsy which affects the muscle tone in her body. She is currently unable to stand or walk independently, which can be very frustrating for her. Eva is a bright, bubbly and chatty little girl, but her physical disability prevents her from joining in with her friends and doing all the things that she would like to do. Eva is 3 years old and will therefore be starting school in September next year; we want to give her the best start to school by helping her become as physically independent as possible, and that is where the Napa Center comes in..

The Napa Center in Los Angeles is a world-renowned therapy centre that helps children with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions to achieve their full potential. They have amazing therapists and different styles of physiotherapy that are not offered in the UK. They have offered Eva a three-week block of intensive treatment which, along with Eva's determined personality, will help her on her road to independent walking. The Napa Center is usually booked up a year in advance so we were lucky that they had a spare slot in December. We would greatly appreciate any donations to help towards this life-changing trip.
