So, it's 5,895 metres (19k feet) high, drops to -20Celcius (-4 Fahrenheit) overnight and 70% of people who climb it suffer from acute mountain sickness...what could possibly go wrong for an asthma sufferer who doesn't like getting out of bed in the morning?!

Along with 17 colleagues, for the week of 27th January 2017 I will be attempting to scale Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise money for Comic Relief. I would be very grateful for the support of my friends, family and lovely colleagues in pushing me to get to the top! 

Not only will your donations inspire me on but you will be donating to a fantastic charity that makes a difference to the lives of people both in places such as Tanzania as well as here in the UK. All costs have been covered personally so every penny you donate will go directly to charity. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
