Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

"It's a mere walk in the park on a Sunday morning whilst going to fetch the paper.....isn't it?"

Actually I will be 'puffing and blowing' my way up to the incredible altitude of 5,545 (18,192ft) in aid of a charity that carries out the most fantastic work.

Some basic facts on the Everest Base Camp experience:

This is classed as an 'Extreme Charity Challenge'

It is 62% of the way up Mount Everest (4 times the height of Ben Nevis)

There can be up to 60% less atmosphere at this altitude

Temperatures will range from +16 degC to -15 degC

We walk 120 Km over 13 days (sounds easy but not at these altitudes)

Why do this?
It is widely quoted that 1:3 of us will be effected by cancer during our life and this is true in my case; my brother died ay the young age of 35 from bowel cancer and my wife has had ovarian cancer, also at a very young age - now is the time to put something back, so this is in memory of my brother and with thanks that my wife is still with me.
