My personal message:

I'VE DONE IT, BEAT MY TARGET!! WOOHOO PLEASE HELP ME SMASH IT THROUGH TO ROOF....

 

Bare with me… If I may just start with a gigantic and sincere thank you for all of you who have donated towards my Mount Everest trek so far, whether it be by taking part in one of my fund raising events or donating online. You have helped me raise over £5000!! Only a few weeks to go!! For those of you that would still like to sponsor me please do so by clicking the donate button below.

  

The training is going very well, and for those of you that would like to see me in pain, maybe even agony, will be pleased to know that most mornings getting out of bed is a struggle. Muscle strains, sore joints, aching bones are just a few of the perks(!) I’ve learnt to live with!

 

I’ve breezed the heights that England and Wales have to offer (Scafell Pike and Snowdon) but they are still 5 times shorter of anywhere near the heights that myself and the rest of the 23 Gala Coral Group Mount Everest Trekkers will endeavour.

  

If Trekking to Everest isn’t enough of a physical and mental challenge, I’ve also signed up for the tough guy challenge in January, (www.toughguy.co.uk) so if you thought I wont donate because trekking up and over glasiers and all sorts extreme terrain, stumbling across old rope bridges with Yaks hurtling towards you with no intention of stopping, sleeping in tents in -10 degrees and having to deal with extreme altitude sickness wasn’t enough, sponsor me to compete in the tough guy!!! PLEASE....
