Story

In October 2026, I will take on the incredible challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the highest mountain in Africa, to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. The cost of this trek has been paid and all donation will be available for Macmillan to use.

This challenge is deeply personal. Both of his parents have suffered from cancer, and his mother-in-law sadly passed away from the disease. In addition, I has seen many friends face their own cancer journeys. I'm determined to make a difference by raising money to support the invaluable work that Macmillan does for people living with cancer and their families.I aim to raise £2 for every meter, Kilimanjaro is 5895 meters above sea level. Therefore my target is £11790.

Will you help me reach that goal and donate today?

I'll like to thank my colleagues Sue, Natalia, George, Carli, Nick, Julie, Ruth, Carol, Gary, Anne-Marie and Nikki for their help with my fundraising.

Macmillan is 98% funded by voluntary donations, making fundraising crucial to delivering vital support. They are reliant on fundraisers like me and donors like you.

Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe, JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.
