On the 16th to the 27th September 2009 I, Derek Skinner, will be following in the footsteps of the inspirational Simon Milward (1965-2005) and climbing, scrambling and puffing my way up 5,895 m to the top of Kilimanjaro. Simon climbed the world's highest free standing mountain in 2005. I hope to stand where Simon stood on top of Kilimanjaro.

I'm doing this

1: to test myself as a person

2: in the memory of Simon

3: to raise as much money as possible for Motorcycle Outreach.

I don't need to tell you the great job being done delivering healthcare to the outlying villages in the poorest and most remote regions in the world.

Raising as much as possible (with your help) for Motorcycle Outreach I hope I can do my bit so they can carry on the great work they do.

So please donate on http://www.justgiving.com/derekskinnerkilimanjarotrek
