My wife passed away in February after a battle with cancer aged only 37. Her strength has inspired me, my family and friends to want to help raise funds for others battling with cancer. It is a fight we can win if we fund it.

A group of 14 school friends are embarking on a 3 day expedition to Suilven, which is one of the most distinctive mountains in Scotland. It rises almost vertically from a wilderness landscape of moorland bogs and Lochans. Day one will involve travel and then a 12km canoe journey followed by a night under canvas. Day 2, climbing the mountain up and back and day 3 back to the canoes for another 6km and home. Will be a tough 3 days but it will be great.

Remaining friends may be our biggest challenge!
