:wave:Well I have set up my blog space and hopefully with everything crossed it should work :D

The reason for this blog - I am going to trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world, in October 2008. I intend to raise at least £3000 in the process for The MS Trust. The MS Trust is an independent UK charity for people with multiple sclerosis, their families and friends, and for all health professionals. It aims to make a positive difference for people with MS and to work to the highest possible standards. Charity Registration No 1088353. I shall keep all my sponsors, friends, etc updated with my training (oh yeah can't wait for that bit) and eventual trek. I shall keep a diary of my trek and update this site on my return with pics.

Not a lot to report at the moment as I am working hard (living, eating and breathing) on fundraising ideas which do not require much physical exercise although it is putting some strain on me mentally. I have so many ideas just as I wake up. Why is that? I really must put a pen and paper next to my bed. By the time I have got to write my great ideas down I have forgotten most of them. I am going to approach a local printer and ask them to either print some free of charge mini cards for me. The cards will have my fundraising web page address on them www.justgiving.com/caroljones-trek which I can distribute or if not maybe they will sponsor me. Either way it must be worth asking the question. Watch this space!!!

I am going to ask my boss at work if I can approach suppliers for sponsorship and a local shopping centre if I can hold a can shake. So much to do - so little time to do it in.

Come back soon as I will update with news as and when it happens.

Til next time folks .........
