Why do you want to climb Mt Kilimanjaro?
Because it’s there! More seriously it is the challenge of doing something new, something challenging that will test me both mentally and physically. While at the same time raising money for Unicef. This is an amazing opportunity that I don’t think I would have ever pursued myself so thank you Autovista.
What has been the most challenging thing about this initiative so far?
Working out all of the kit that I need!
What is the most interesting thing you have learned about yourself so far?
I get more aches in my legs from walking downhill than uphill.
How are you raising your UNICEF funds?
I will largely rely on family and friends – I don’t ask them often and last time I did a major fundraising was for the London Marathon in 2013 and I raised £2,500 for Cancer Research.
If there was going to be a Kilimanjaro playlist for your climb, what song would you choose?
Walk this way – Run DMC!
What luxury are you planning on taking up the mountain with you?
Chocolate.
Is there anything you are ‘dreading’?
Altitude sickness.
What are you looking forward to most?
The clean air and the views.

Thanks to #AutovistaWaterWalk prompting me to walk to work for the last 2 days and take in some London sights. Saved tube fares go to a great cause @UNICEF_uk. Rather different views for me in 7 days time with 3 peaks #learningonthewayup. Good luck to those already there!
Good training for kili #learningonthewayup by taking on the UNICEF Water Walk #WaterWalk. 5 mi./ day for 1 week to support children who walk too far for water. My son is lucky - he is just walking to play basketball. UNICEF goal by 2030 no one walks more than 30mins for water
