Hello folks,

This is very short notice, but I'm only just getting myself organised to do this :)

A group of nine of us are climbing Ben Nevis on the 14th of July this year. I'm raising money on behalf of friend for the James Cook Neo-natal Unit and RVI Fetal Medicine

As those of you who know me will be able to testify, vegetables and exercise are my two mortal enemies, so climbing the biggest mountain in the UK will be somewhat of a challenge.

I've embarked on a rigourous plan of not changing my diet and going on a walk once a week, so I feel i'm ready to conquer the giant rocky outcrop.

All joking aside, unless I do a serious number on myself, I'm not stopping until I reach the summit. I'm setting this as a goal for myself. I may get the cable car back down, but I'm dragging my chubby carcas to the top.

Anything you can give would be more than amazing.

Thank you in advance

Lee "Sir Edmund Hillary" West
