Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Remember when I said "never again" after Kilimanjaro? Well guess what? If your going to attempt another climb then at least raise the stakes!!Together with my closest and dearest Kili veterans, I`ll be attempting to summit&nbsp;Mt Toubkal in the Atlas Mountains range (Morocco) complete with crampons and ice axe! Yes, that`s right climbing a mountain in snow and ice! I may have lost&nbsp;the plot this time!!</p> <p>On a serious note, this will be a tough personal challenge but an opportunity to raise money for a very worthy charity. The Shell disability network has been working very closely with Action for Blind People this year and I have witnessed at first hand the wonderful work they do.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Action for Blind People is a national charity with local reach, providing practical help and support to blind and partially sighted people of all ages.
