Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In September 2014 I had a serious knee injury, which unfortunately meant that I was unable to do any sort of physical activity for the whole season. The times when you lose the ability to do something, is when you appreciate it the most. I really miss being physically active and can't wait to catch up with all the fitness I have lost since the injury. I want to go big! How big? As high as the highest free-standing mountain in the world sounds alright for starters! In September 2015 I will be joining an expedition to climb mountain Kilimanjaro, which stands at 5,895m above the sea level. 

The thing I am most excited is that I am doing it for charity!

By doing this Kilimanjaro challenge I want to support the Meningitis Research Foundation, a fantastic charity organisation, which funds research into and raises awareness of both meningitis and septicaemia - two deadly diseases which kill around 1000 people worldwide everyday. 10 people contract meningitis in the UK every day and 1 out of 10 people die from this disease. These are horrible numbers. I believe that I can help Meningitis Research Foundation to free the world from these deadly diseases through raising awareness about this important issue and through generous donations towards my campaign.
