Story

Cheers for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm Dave Millar and I'm undertaking a trek up Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa, in September 2010.

The trek is in aid of the CF Trust which is a charity that is very close to my heart.

I lost my amazing wife Emma to Cystic Fibrosis in September 2009.  Emma was only 28, she was on the transplant list awaiting a double lung transplant and it was her ambition, was she to have received new lungs, to raise as much money for the Trust as possible through doing as many active events as she could.

I am undertaking this event in memory of Emma and to raise money for this incredibly worthwhile charity.

See a little of Emmas story by following the below links to some news stories detailing what an incredible woman she was.
