The Challenge 

To climb Mount Toubkal. At 4,167m, it is  the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains in southwestern Morocco, North Africa.

Welcome to my page. I have set myself the challenge of climbing Mount Toubkal. I decided to do this challenge for many reasons. Just over 7 years ago I suffered from a condition PGP (pelvic girdle pain) which was cause by my pregnancy and I was using crutches for seven months, I was under physio for 18 months. I wanted to fight my condition and set myself goals to improve my physical and mental health. One of my goals was to raise money by doing different challenges for charities. I wanted to do this in memory of my sisters Louise and Sarah. Louise sadly died at the age of 16 yrs from Leukaemia . Sarah who sadly died from bronchopneumonia at 4 months old.  

To help combat my mental health and physical limitations I stated running and climbing mountains . My biggest achievements have included running an ultra , London marathon twice and Manchester Marathon. I also done a triathlon where I had to learn to swim and ride a bike . Which is pretty tough as an adult I also climbed the three highest mountains in the uk. Ben Nevis, Snowdon and scarfell Pike. I also completed the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge.
