Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Madness has taken over and I'm bound for Tanzania to tackle that small mound known as Kilimanjaro.  As this is a challenge in itself I got to thinking what could I do to make it even more amazing? 
Yes, do it for charity!
A good friend and colleague has a rare form of terminal cancer known as Carcinoid Cancer (Neuroendocrine tumours - NETs) which requires a range of different treatments - most of them involving big needles!  Another 'favourite' is being locked in a lead lined room for up to 7 days after she has been given radionuclide therapy.  Having visited her during several treatment cycles it is clear that this lonely little room needs more than a sixty minute makeover!
My aim is to raise as much money as I can for the Carcinoid Cancer Charity based at Kings College Hospital.  By doing this I hope to raise awareness, progress research, support others who are suffering from this 'quiet cancer' and possibly to cheer up this dismal room!
