If you've seen me out and about in my hiking boots here's the reason why……

From 13th - 23rd October, 2007 I will be attempting to climb the highest free standing mountain in the world - Mount Kilimanjaro!! The hike will be a 10 day challenge which I'm really looking forward to - mind you the highest I've hiked before was a green hillock far East of London City Airport !!

I am currently the only person at Credit Suisse registered to take on this challenge. I would like to try and out-fundraise all the other hikers and have set up a website via Justgiving.com if you would like to sponsor me.

All of the sponsorship for my hike will go to Whizz-kidz which as I'm sure you all know, is Credit Suisse's charity of the year. Whizz-kidz provides customised wheelchairs, tricycles and other specialised mobility equipment, wheelchair training, information and advice to change the lives of disabled children across the UK.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Whizz-Kidz 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.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me now online.

Many thanks for your support.

Cheers !

Johnny
