Final Update: Hi, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for all their help and support in raising money for Quarriers and helping me smash my goal of £5000.00 !!!! I'm catching my flight to India and on to Nepal tomorrow evening (Friday November 7th) and will be returning (hopefully) on Monday 24th November. I will reach Base Camp next Tuesday the 18th of November and will surely be thinking of all of you wrapped up warm and cosy in various parts of the world. Thanks again for your support. Michael

UPDATE! - I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM A WEEK'S TRAINING CLIMBING ALL 20 PEAKS ON THE CUILLIN RIDGE ON THE ISLE OF SKYE. IT WAS AN INTENSE WEEK BUT GREAT PREPARATION FOR EVEREST AND HAS GIVEN ME SOME APPRECIATION FOR WHAT TO EXPECT IN NOVEMBER. I ALSO CLIMBED THE CHIOCH (FAMOUS FROM THE FILM HIGHLANDER), CLICK ON THE LINKS AND YOU CAN SEE THE SCENERY AND SOME CLIMBING SHOTS OF ME! THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SPONSORED ME SO FAR AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE PLEASE KEEP THE DONATIONS ROLLING IN - THIS IS A BIG CHALLENGE FOR A WORTHY CAUSE.

Hi and thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I have decided to donate something that I don't generally have a lot of, time, to help out a fantastic charity in Scotland called Quarriers. You can check out their website on line to see in more detail what they do - http://www.quarriers.org.uk/

I am undertaking the small task of walking about 120km over 18 days to Mount Everest Base Camp. http://www.quarriers.org.uk/support/events/everest/index.php

I have agreed to raise a minimum of £3290.00 of which I have already paid £395.00 to register. My goal is to surpass this sum and raise at least £5000.00 for Quarriers, so please be generous.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It works on a bank to bank basis, in that your donation goes directly to Quarriers and therefore it is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Quarriers will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

I'm sure if you knew that a small donation from you was going a long way to helping provide practical support and care you would be happy to help out.

 
So please help me to make a difference and sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Michael
