My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I just celebrated my 60th birthday but am determined that age will not be a barrier to successfully reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro.  I have close friends and business colleagues who are currently receiving treatment for urological cancers and want to raise money for UCARE becuase I am confident that the ground breaking research currently being funded by UCARE will bring hope to cancer sufferers and their families on a global scale.

"If everyone who reads this is prepared to forego just one bottle of wine in the next three months and, instead, donate that money to sponsoring me on the UCARE Kilimanjaro Challenge, we can raise £12,000!"

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: UCARE (OXFORD) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
