I'm sure you think I'm crazy and honestly you might be right.....but sometimes you just gotta get off your butt and do something a bit 'off the wall'! So here goes - I'm attempting a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Dec 27th - 3rd Jan with my old school chum Sue Vyvyan Day (Susan James).

Having decided on this adventure / challenge / experience of a lifetime, I decided to raise some money at the same time for a cause that's very close to my heart - childhood cancer.

My beautiful young brother Jim died many years ago from a condition known as Retinablastoma, he lived for just 2 and half years, but he blessed our lives and he and my parents and family were heros!! In a very small way, this is a chance for me to raise some funds to help children and families in a similar situation and to honour the memory of a very special 'wee man' my brother Jim, loved always, never forgotten.
