My Story
Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page. The money I raise will help fund life-saving research and to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. I am challenging myself to Hike Aconcagua, the highest Mountain in the South Amercican continent. I will be away for 23 days Hiking in the Andes. The Altitude and cold will be difficult. But as I am 50 yrs old this year I thought it would be a good challenge and important to fundraise for all suffering from Cancer. After climbing Kilimanjaro in 2019, 2 of the group got Cancer. Paul Fuller, Chief of Bedford Fire Services died. He had suggested we do this Mountain as it is the highest you can Trek up with no Mountainering / climbing experience. (I.e. crampons, harness and ropes). So I am climbing Aconcagua in memory of him. I am sure you know someone or maybe have cancer yourself? My Dad has fought Bone cancer - having his thumb removed!. He has fought Prostate Cancer and Skin Cancer. Now he is fighting Bladder Cancer! Thus my climb is nothing compared to all he has gone through. Please help me to raise awareness and reach my fundraising target. Thanks x
