My story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

A motley crew of 7 hardy explorers are planning to conquer the highest free standing mountain in the world!! The soon to be infamous team comprising of a hairdresser, three pen pushers, a professional tea drinker, a probing sparky and a farmer aka Colonel B, Barry, Dave, Fire, Fletch, Judder and Lindsay believe that "there ain't no mountain high enough".

Barrrry (Andrew Fletcher), Dave (Richard Fletcher) and Fire (Matthew Doughty) all grew up with Guy, this is the reason that we have chosen this charity having witnessed first hand the devastation caused by osteosarcoma cancer. Here is Guy's Story:

Please take five minutes to look at this website to appreciate the hard work of this charity in researching this rare type of cancer that receives very little funding and is most prevelant in children and teenagers.

ALL sponsorship will go directly to the charity as each individual has covered the cost of the trip themselves therefore you can be as generous as you like!!
