As some of you are aware my father has been battling cancer for many years now and over the years I have lost many close friends to Cancer. Since I got serious about my mountaineering I thought it was about time for me to raise some money for a cause that is close to me. Climbers Against Cancer is a fantastic charity run entirely by volunteers meaning none of the money raised will go towards administrations, travel or any other expenses.

I will be climbing Aconcagua in Argentina in January and decided that I will use this mountain to help raise funds and awareness for the charity. Head over to their web page to find out more info on them www.climbersagainstcancer.org.

Many thanks for reading my story.
