My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Heart Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

We have given combined service at Stowupland High School for over 40 years, and although far from hills and mountains, have sought to encourage our students to have a love of adventure and the outdoors through the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, a climbing club, Scottish winter mountaineering trips and world wide expeditions to far flung countries.

Although living deep in the heart of East Anglia, we have gained a wealth of experience in all the mountainous areas of the UK, and in the great ranges of the world, climbing in Peru, Nepal, Mongolia, China and Bolivia, to become experienced high altitude mountaineers.

We spend our working lives encouraging aspiration and motivating young people, however the challenge for us is to climb Mt. Everest in 2009.
