As you may be aware, one of my passions is mountain climbing.

This year I have decided to combine my passion for climbing with a desire to support a fantastic charity initiative that aims to raise £1million and make a real difference to providing support for families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness.

During 2019 I will be climbing 10 (yes ten!) of the British Isle's highest mountain peaks.  These mountains, presenting some of the most challenging conditions climbers can face, will include Snowdon in Wales (1085m), Ben Nevis (1345m), Cairngorm (1245m) and Braeriach (1296m) in Scotland and Scarfell Pike (978m) - England's Highest Peak.  And, if that isn't enough I'll be walking 100 miles in 5 days along the West Highland Way.

The challenge and my are both large so I ask you to be as generous as possible.

My target is to raise as much as possible for the I Love Claims Charity Rainbow Trust's fund that currently stands at £700,000.00 and is aiming to reach £1million this year.  Rainbow Trusts Children's Charity provides bespoke support for families who have a child with a serious illness, offering the whole family support regardless of diagnosis and are there for as long as a family has needs.

Rainbow Trust Children's Charity enables families who have a child with a life threatening illness to make the most of precious time together; providing expert practical and emotional support, where they need it, for as long as it is needed. £26 will provide one hour of care, enough time to entertain a seriously ill child so that their parents can have a break.
