Hello, I'm trying to raise money again for Macmillan Cancer Relief by walking to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. I'm not sure whether this time I've bitten off more than I can chew as the summit is just under 6000 metres high.
This will be a 10 day challenge climbing from 1,800 metres to the summit at 5,895 metres, through rainforest, high plateau and glaciers. So I guess I'll just have to try and get as fit as possible over the next few months, and find a few mountains to practice on, difficult in Oxfordshire!
Macmillan is a charity very close to my heart, as they were a huge source of support for my father (and mother) when he was dying of cancer last summer.
I have paid for the costs of the trip myself and, with your help, would love to beat the £4,000 I raised last time, for the Machu Picchu trek.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support 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.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
