- Why did you decide to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?

It's always been a lifelong dream of mine, as I do a lot of walkinganyway. I wanted to do the climb in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care, asmy family have experienced cancer.

- You just got back from the climb last week. How did it go?

It was very tough and a true challenge, both physically and mentally. Idid the climb with Jayne Dresser, a teaching assistant at the school.Both of us are walkers and have done the Three Peaks Challenge in thepast.

- How much money have you raised for the charity?

We have raised 4,000 for the charity so far. We were reallylucky, as we received a large donation - although without support fromthe school we would never have been able to do the trek. They have beenamazing.
