What inspired you to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for charity?
I lost my husband to cancer 21 months ago. Last September would have been his 50th birthday, and I never did anything special to mark it. This is my way of doing something both for him and the fabulous people at Macmillan Cancer Support, which provided excellent care when he was ill.
What training have you been doing?
I've been out walking most days. As I live near the Peak District, I often go there. I climbed Ben Nevis and went on a walking weekend in Wales with friends. I think I'll definitely get the travelling bug when I come back. My dream is to trek the Great Wall of China next year.
