Looking for your help

In two weeks time, I will be climbing Kilimanjaro for Breast Cancer Now with a very special group of women, some of whom have bravely fought and won the battle with this devastating disease. For them, this is a highly personal journey of survival and recovery, making it a very special climbing challenge for all of us. A very big thank you to all of you who have had the time to look at and donate to my Justgiving page. For everyone else, please take a moment to read on. 

The climb will take a long 7 days, 7 days where we will climb a minimum of 8 hours every day, and 16 hours non-stop on summit day, reaching extreme altitudes early on in the climb. 

Kilimanjaro is one of the steepest non-technical mountaineering climbs that exists, and the highest ascent anywhere in the world which can be completed in such a short period of time. 

Added to which temperatures are likely to drop to –15 degrees Celsius at night, sanitation will be virtually non-existent, and you will understand why I am currently somewhat apprehensive.

Hence this post. I am writing to ask you to help me raise funds for what I believe is a very worthy cause, and in so doing, give me the motivation to complete what will undoubtedly be a big challenge. Any support you can give will be most gratefully received.

Please have a look at my Justgiving page to learn more.
