I am taking the Duke of Edinburgh Award Diamond Challenge. 

It is my plan to attempt to summit the seven highest mountains in the Mourne Mountains (all over 700 metres) in less than seven hours.

As many of you know, due to my recent illness, the preparation for this challenge has not gone according to plan. However, I feel I am now ready to commence training again and am aiming to attempt the Spartan Red Sox Seven 7's Challenge on Saturday 13th August 2016.

I have a very generous sponsor who will match any money I raise for the Duke of Edinburgh Award with a donation to The Friends of the Cancer Centre.

Please give generously
