Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
After meeting up with Darren one night several years ago for our quarterly beer catch up and after putting the world to rights we got talking about the usual fell walking plans. Darren had climbed Kilimanjaro 3 times previously and I was hooked by the stories of his adventures. So, after a few drinks I went home and booked the trip for what turned out to be a life changing experience. I met a whole new group of fabulous friends there while raising much needed funds for the Children's Hospice at Eden Valley.
Once I returned and completed my fundraising I visited the hospice for which nothing can prepare you for. The place is amazing with fantastic staff who work tirelessly to make the limited time the children have there as comfortable and as loving as possible. It really makes you realise how lucky you are in life......
I reached a significant birthday in 2020 for when this trip was originally planned but due to the pandemic it was cancelled. This trip has now been re-arranged for September and have decided to raise funds once again for this fantastic cause by climbing Kang Yatse in the Western Himalayas and at 20,830 feet it will certainly be a tougher challenge than anything I have previously attempted. My great friend Darren will also be attempting this challenge whilst raising funds for his own charity
I am self funding the cost of my trip therefore all of the money raised will go direct to Children's Hospice. Any help that you can give towards helping me raise my target would be fantastic
Please take a look at the link below to see what the hospice is all about
