Hi,

I leave for Everest  [for the final time] on the 29th March 2008, and hope to return having summitted without supplemental oxygen - we shall see. I am climbing for both the NSPCC and the Marie Curie cancer charity. I have chosen not to hound people for donations this time, [as I have done previously] choosing instead to leave up to individual conviction. I only hope I havnt bled people dry! £320,000 has been raised for charity from my two previous summits - thank you.

As you know, donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NSPCC and Marie Curie 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.
                                                                       
Many thanks for your support once again.

David.
