Supported causes: Paul Steele's climb for leukaemia
My Challenge by Paul Steele
In January 2010 I will be undertaking my biggest mountain challenge yet. An expedition to the summit of Mount Aconcagua.
Mount Aconcagua, Argentina is the highest mountain in the western hemisphere and the highest outside the Himalayas standing at 6,962 metres (22,841 ft).
I have done many a trek up a mountain and even my trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro is small in comparison. Nearly 3 weeks of solid trekking through all terrains to a high altitude summit.
I am fundraising with this climb in aid of The Anthony Nolan Trust - Taking lives back from leukaemia. This is a very worthy cause that maintains a register and recruits bone marrow donors for sufferers. Without their help many many leukaemia sufferers would never find donors. In total I aim to raise £5,000, thanks all those that are supporting me.

Please can I thank again for the time and effort of Wendy and others in supporting my Mountain Challenge.
