     On October 7th 2010 Jordan, Mel, Ben and Fliss will be climbing Kilimanjaro for Marie Curie Cancer Care, a charity very close to our hearts.

     We have chosen this important charity after a year in which Ben's mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and in memory of Jordan's mother Micky who died from breast cancer in September 2009.

     Cancer is a disease which everyone reading this will have an experience of, either directly or indirectly, and this is why we feel the money we raise for Marie Curie Cancer Care will help so many people. We plan to raise money through your generous donations on this site, and organising various fundraising events that we really hope you can all support!
