At 65, Sir Ranulph has become the oldest Briton to conquer Mount Everest. The world-famous explorer, who was climbing in support of Marie Curie Cancer Care, reached the summit just before 1 a.m. on May 21 a year after he was forced to abandon an attempt on the mountain, and despite having previously declared "no more mountains".
He's not stopping there - his mission now is to smash the £3 million target he set last year to support Marie Curie Nurses, giving more terminally ill patients the choice to die at home, surrounded by their families.
Congratulations Sir Ranulph. Fundraising on this scale is a hugh acheivement. Now, get home safe.Donation by David Tomlin
