Thank you for taking a look at my fundraising page.

Commencing 20 July 2009, I will be spending a week attempting to climb up and down the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa – to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Kilimanjaro stands 19,341 feet (that’s 5,895 metres!) high and 60 by 40 miles wide. I plan to spend 5 days ascending the mountain, travelling through bushland, forest, alpine, and arctic ecosystems.

I will be walking for up to 15 hours a day; sleeping in a tent; facing a vast range of temperatures, -25C to 30C. There’s no doubt it will be a major physical and mental challenge. But one I am hugely looking forward to taking on.

My chosen charity to benefit from my attempt, is one close to my heart, as I know it is for so many people. Cancer Research UK has been at the forefront of progress in cancer research for over a century. Their ground-breaking work has already led to life-saving changes, and any donation you make will help them continue to make great strides improving the way cancer is prevented, diagnosed and treated.

I am so grateful for any donation you are able to give.

Thanks for your support

Marc
