Ben Nevis Midnight Challenge · 29 August 2014 to 30 August 2014 ·

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been convinced that walking up the UK's highest mountain, in the dark, on my husbands Birthday (While he stays at home & looks after our baby) is a good idea!

Most people that I have told about this have either laughed or thought the email I sent out asking for donations was spam!! That gives you a bit of background about my level of fitness.....

My training since I agreed to do this challenge, up until about two weeks ago consisted of -

1) shopping to buy walking boots (They are very ugly...I think I deserve sponsorship just for wearing them).

2) shopping to buy a waterproof jacket (equally as ugly but I have used it already to walk the dog so feel as though it was a worthwhile purchase).

3) Walking the dog.

4) Having a rest after all of the shopping & dog walking.

But In the past couple of weeks I have joined a gym!! and I have gone to said Gym...I have also completed a wall climbing course and plan to do lots & lots more training (especially walking up Hills) before August 29th comes round. 

It would be an understatment to say that I am going to find this challenge hard. (My main concern being I may have an Asthma attack at the top of the mountain and have to be air lifted down). But I am going to train hard and raise as much money as I can for a very worth while charity. 

So...this is NOT a joke I am ACTUALLY going to walk up Ben Nevis and would really, really like you to sponsor me.

Many thanks x x x x
