I first set eyes on Kilimanjaro across the Kenyan plains in 1999 – it quite simply took my breath away and I knew I’d be back one day to ‘tackle’ the summit.  I had never done anything like this before.  We set off on the night of the summit, a step at a time. The sunrise was like no other sunrise I’d experienced before, the contrast of volcanic sand, ice caps, brilliant blue skies, warm orange glow from the sun and low cloud beneath us was truly stunning. Reaching the summit was such an achievement that it really took over a month to sink in. An incredible experience with wonderful people, and memories that will stay with me forever.  It is truly a celebration of good health and satisfaction of being able to give back and contribute towards the research for a cure for leukaemia.
