Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. There is one month to go before I set off with my wife and one other couple to climb Mount Kilimanjaro over 7 days (28 Sept - 4 October 2019).

This will be the hardest physical challenge I have attempted (it was a low bar) but I am confident in my ability to persevere given the alternative scenario is that my wife never lets me live it down. I am also honoured to be raising money on behalf of Street League where my wife works who tackle youth unemployment in a sustainable way - working with young people, employers and communities  in 14 cities across the UK to alleviate poverty in the UK's most disadvantaged communities. I am a big believer in the power that sport has to change lives and in charities' key role in making the world a better place. 

Over the past twelve months Street League has helped 1,709 young people move into work, education or training. It's not just about getting a job, it's about developing confidence, making friends, learning new skills and gaining qualifications. Want to know how Street League is doing? You can visit the live impact dashboard at www.streetleague.co.uk/impact and hear some of the young people's stories.
