In January 2027, I will be joining an intrepid team of 45 to climb Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest mountain! The distance, height & altitude will be the big challenge!

Having completed my 1st fundraising challenge in September, a 20km river swim - from Beaumaris Castle to Caernarfon Castle down a narrow strip of water known as the Menai straight.

My second fundraising challenge is now the Palermo marathon - 26 miles on an undulating course round the streets of the city (November 15th). Any sponsorship will be gratefully received with all proceeds going directly to the charity 😊🙏.

Kilimanjaro is the next chapter in a long series of events organised by Carter the Brave spanning 10 years & totalling over £650,000! Carter was diagnosed with Leukaemia at 4 years old & received treatment at BCH for 8 years. Carter is now in remission but CTB's mission is to make this journey easier for other Carters. Since 2016, CTB has made a huge impact, with highlights being 7 revolutionary GameStations, 1700 Amazon vouchers, £165,000 for Paediatric Cancer Research & Chemo CADD Pumps facilitating treatment at home. More recently, CTB has helped fund the new BCH entrance, the onsite Medicinema & bought the CT Intervention kit, which will lead to more successful tumour diagnoses.

All funds raised by my page will go directly to help the children of BCH. Thank you so much to everyone for supporting me in this EPIC challenge!
