Ascent of Mont Blanc - French Alps · 14 March 2008

fly2help is an aviation charity that inspires positive change by sharing the love of flying. Our vision is for everyone to be able to access the positive benefits of aviation. Air Smiles Days We provide Air Smiles Days - exciting experience days, centred around a short flight in a light aircraft - to people living in difficult situations including illness, disability, bereavement and isolation. Air Smiles Days aim to bring joy and laughter, create and capture magical memories, boost confidence and self-esteem and offer respite to individuals, families and groups. Aim High fly2help's Aim High programmes encourage young people from the ages of 5 to 18 to be inspired by the world of aviation, through activities that support personal life goals whilst exploring future career aspirations. We introduce young people to the world of aviation and aerospace, providing fun and inspiration whilst guiding and supporting them as they consider their futures lives and careers. How you can help We want our programmes to be accessible to every young person who needs support and to do that we need to expand our activities across the UK. Your support will enable us to reach out to all those who have a dream but don't know how to reach their goals. Your support is vital in providing inspiration to young people today whilst raising their aspirations for tomorrow. Please email us on info@fly2help.org.

Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

On the 11th of July 2008, a three-man team, Robert Innes, Edward Kennedy and Julian Kingscote, will be climbing Mont Blanc in the French Alps as the culmination of a two week Alpine Mountaineering course based in Chamonix.

At 4,808 M / 15,774 FT, Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in Western Europe and the ascent will probably be one of the greatest physical challenges of our lives.

Why are we doing this? Well, we have always loved being up in the mountains. We are keen hill walkers and have climbed a lot of the UK peaks, so this is the next challenge.....albeit a very big one!

We are also climbing to raise money for a very worthwhile organisation, fly2help. There are many great charities out there helping all sorts of people but the unique way in which fly2help can change peoples lives has a special meaning to us and raising money by doing this climb is our way of giving something back to help those less fortunate than us.

The team at fly2help are fantastic people doing amazing things for others, so come on, please dig deep and sponsor us online now!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: fly2help 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.

Robert, Ed and Julian
