Story

I have been a huge fan of BEN for the last 10 years and it is the IMI's dedicated charity. Now that I have joined the BEN Board I thought I should put myself out of my comfort zone and try and raise £10,000. I like a challenge and there seemed  a compelling  case to trek Kilimanjaro - to show people that I really am prepared to go the extra mile for BEN.  I am delighted that my daughter Rachael, who also works in the industry, will be with me. She knows how tough its going to be - she did Everest  Base Camp last year. Rachael  said she experienced the highest of  highs and the lowest of lows.  I haven't been to a gym for over 10 years, so a 6 month training programme is called for. I started training Wednesday - the trainer says I need  to train a lot!  Think of us on September 17th, when we start our adventure.
With many thanks for your support
Sarah
