This being my 50th year I have decided to do something memorable and for a good cause. On 14th June I am travelling to Chamonix in France to attempt to climb Mont Blanc via the Gouter route and get safely down again. At 4808 metres it is Western Europe's highest mountain and nearly 4 times the height of Ben Nevis. At this altitude the air is thin and there is a need to acclimatise. Altitude sickness prevents 1 in 3 climbers from reaching the top. The weather will hopefully be good in June. The mountain will be veiled white above 2500m Deirdre (Mrs Wisdom) eldest sister died in 2001 having suffered from Freidrichs Ataxia from the age of 9 years. Confined to a wheelchair at the age 14 years and losing her battle with the disease at 49 years of age. Ataxia UK is the leading UK charity for all people affected by Ataxia. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ataxia UK 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.
