The challenge.

At the end of this month I will be flying to Tanzania to attempt to conquer Kilimanjaro by the Machame route. I will be on the mountain for 7 days. Enduring severe heat at the base and -20 degrees centigrade temperatures at the summit, altitude sickness, with less than 50% of the oxygen at sea level and tropical diseases.

I hope to summit on the 28th of July.

I am doing this in aid of the Walton Centre Charity. I am doing this as I owe the Walton Centre a lot, after they treated me for a brain hemorrhage in 2015 and subsequent observation and treatment. I am funding the trip myself so 100% of donations will go to the charity.

My request to you.

I ask if you can make a donation to help this great charity to assist patients with neurological problems and to help their families.

I know that money is tight and we cannot donate to every charity request by all donations no mater how big or small we be appreciated greatly.
