Revive MS is one of the staff charities at McGrigors this year. When they offered someone the chance to climb Kilimanjaro and raise money for the charity at the same time, I leapt at the chance!  Had I know just how hard it would be I wonder if I would have been quite so enthusiastic.... but thanks to some fantastic guides from the African Walking Company, I made it.

McGrigors generously paid half the costs of the trip, and I paid for the rest, so all the money donated on this site will go direct to help a great charity. Here's what they can do with your help:

£10 will provide someone isolated in their home due to MS with a door to door transport service to Revive MS for vital services, support and social interation.

£20 will provide 1 person affected by MS with an aromatherapy or reflexology session, which helps to reduce pain levels, increase mobility or reduce spasms and gives an enhanced feeling of well-being

£30 provides 1 person affected by MS with essential expert treatment from an MS specialist physiotherapist or speech therapist

£50 allows a specialist counsellor and MS nurse to support 2 people who have just been diagnosed with MS, helping them come to terms with the shock of diagnosis and having to live with a degenerative life-long condition

£100 provides 6-week course of oxygen therapy for 1 person with MS, which can help reduce the effects of certain MS symptoms
