vs. Kilimanjaro for Charity

I was umming and ahhhing for ages whether to do the climb for charity or not. I didn't like the commitment and pressure of doing it for charity. BUT I liked the idea that I wouldn't wimp out of doing something I really wanted to do because it was going to be hard. I also liked the fact that there'd be pressure to train hard etc. And I could escape the question "Why are you doing that?!" Noone ever questions charity.

Basically being a commitment-o-phobe was still winning.

But. No hang on big but...

BUT. Nah not big enough....

BUT. 

That's fun. We'll keep that but. That's nearly J-Lo big. 

I realised I still hadn't done anything for Highland Hospice. They're a Hospice in Inverness, Scotland - and my Auntie Sharon stayed there at the end of her life, just before she died at the ripe age of 46. I was 14, and in the 7 years since I've wanted to do something to help, as they run solely on charity money and don't charge people to be treated there. I never found anything big enough to say thank you with. I feel like climbing the biggest mountain in Africa is big enough. 

So despite me hating talking about emotions etc, I bit the bullet. I told people about why I'm doing it, and so far the response has been great - slow and I hope more people sponsor me. But some peoples reactions has totally humbled me. 

Anyone that wants to can sponsor me here, it would honestly mean the world to me:
