Conquering Mount Kilimanjaro will be tough..
...but not nearly as difficult as the challenge my family
and i have been through since receiving the terrible news.
The 6th of the 6th 2006 marked the beginning of a journey that changed my family's life forever.
My youngest sister Tiffany was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. I remember that day clearly, and the turmoil of emotions that overwhelmed us all...
When you're faced with the prospect of losing a family member it feels as though the world is crumbling beneath your feet. And all you can do is hold on for dear life to one another, and to your hopes that they'll pull through. When Tiffany was at her worst all I kept thinking was "I would do anything to help her get better"; but I just felt so helpless.
November 7th 2008 sadly marks the date that my beautiful sister Tiffany lost her battle with leukaemia. It's been a tough journey but I have decided to stay strong and still conquer Mount Kilimanjaro.
Although I have no cure, I know I can make a positive difference to the lives of people affected by childhood cancer. This is why I'm undertaking the trek to raise funds for Cure Our Kids, Tiffany's chosen charity, and why I need your support.
Please show your solidarity by making a donation to Cure Our Kids.
Together we make the journey easier for families facing the most difficult challenge of their lives.
