Story
On September 23rd 2010, I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
All the funds raised will go towards No Surrender, a charity set up by my best mate Jason Boas, who died in November 2008 after a brave fight against pancreatic cancer. Jason established a networking website for young adults suffering from cancer and other life threatening illnesses.
Despite his situation, Jason succeeded in his vision and the No Surrender website continues to bring together young adults to support each other through the emotional distress and upheaval that a life threatening illness brings.
A Fellowship in Jason's name researching cures for pancreatic cancer in partnership with University College Hospital London has also been setup.
I think if Jason was alive today he would think it hilarious that I am taking this challenge on, especially as it involves getting fit, eating sensibly and walking a ridiculously long way!
Many thanks for your support.
