What are you doing David?
I have agreed to join a group of 5 including my old mate Andrew Warburton to climb the highest single land mass in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro. It was his idea and it sounded like an interesting challenge. Andrew's blog: http://roofofafrica.wordpress.com/
I figured that I might also be able to raise a bit of money along the way for a the Southend Fund. The fund supports 100's of local charities in Southend. I have been on the board for a few years now and think its a great way to provide ongoing support for a number for small local charities.
