Aint no mountain high enough


My cousin James (of no previous climbing experience) has decided to risk life and limb and climb one of the highest and most unforgiving mountains in the world - Aconcagua in Argentina. He will be doing this in aid of one of my favourite charities, the Breast Cancer Haven, which you will know has provided me with invaluable support, information and help over these last months - and I have many more sessions planned after my treatment. I can think of no better recipient as currently there are only two Haven's in the UK, with a third planned for Leeds next year. It costs £1000 to put one woman through the programme but we are not asked to pay a penny for access to wonderful therapists, nurses and counsellors. It is a real life line for hundreds, if not thousands of women, but as it depends entirely on charitable donations and receives no official funding, every penny raised is put to immediate use and the effect is felt immediately.

James has been busting a gut even over Xmas, training day in and day out by walking for 8 hours at a time carrying 20kg rucksack on his back - as you will see from the pic on his website. He is aiming to raise £10,000 in total but any sum, however large or small, would be very gratefully received.....
