Why do you want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?
It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, Something I know that will be a real challenge but I can’t wait for the experience. Also, it’s all for a great cause of fundraising for Unicef.

What do you think will be your biggest challenge?
From what I’ve heard it will probably be the summit day, The altitude change plus the demand not just physically but mentally.

How are you planning to raise money for UNICEF?
As many sporting events as possible. I already ran the Brighton Marathon so it will be running other events or arranging fun things like a ‘football day’.

If there was going to be a team playlist for your Kili climb, what three songs would you choose?
Eye of the tiger, Living on a prayer, Take me home country roads (Mount Kili edition)

What luxury item are you planning to bring with you to Kilimanjaro?
A pillow!

What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Mar Delight (Sadly no longer being made)

Is there anything you are dreading about the Challenge?
Fundraising will be my challenge. I’m not big on social media and honestly, I don’t find it easy promoting myself or asking for donations.

What part of the Challenge are you looking forward to most?
The climb itself! I can only imagine the scenes and I’m sure it will be a fantastic experience with the team. Hopefull, we’ll create some great memories, one possible include reaching the summit.
