I climbed the 284 Munros in Scotland to raise money for the charity back in 2006 and now that I have a little more time, I want to climb the 220 Corbetts (hills from 2500 to 2999 feet, the 224 Grahams and the 89 Donalds (hills between between 2000 feet and 2499 feet.  I plan to finish them by my 60th birthday on 2 February 2018 and will be inviting all my sponsors to climb the last hill with me and then of course we will party!!!

This is a huge challenge for me - I am a sufferer of colitis, which effects me both physically and mentally.  I don't even have it that badly but I still have some very difficult days.  I can only imagine what it must be like to have it so badly, to be in hospital or never be far from a loo........
