In 3 weeks (week of August 27th), I will be attempting to scale Montblanc to raise funds for my favourite charity, Children of the Andes. At 4,808 meters (15,771 ft) Montblanc is Western Europe's highest mountain.

Children of the Andes is a UK-registered charity that provides support to Colombia's most vulnerable children by working in partnership with local NGOs. If you would like to find out more about Children of the Andes, please look at their webste: www.childrenoftheandes.org

No contribution is too small (or too big) and it is very easy to make a donation online. It only takes a few minutes, payments are secure and are sent directly to Children of the Andes. (Also, if you are a UK taxpayer, there is an extra 28% tax bonus courtesy of the exchequer). Don't shy; it will make a difference to a child's life.

Thank you for your support!

Victor
