During Queens Jubilee Week

Ben Nevis
  

Hi there, My name is Andre Howard and yes I'm Wayne's brother.

I’m involved in this years Microsoft Challenger Trophy, and have taken on a personal challenge of getting to the top of Ben Nevis and back again for joint purposes, the NSPCC FULL STOP campaign and the Wayne Howard Appeal Fund.

I am trying to raise as much money as possible for these two causes, the ascent will take place during the Queens Jubilee week, and I intend to complete the climb in approx 6.5 to 7hrs dependent on the wonderful weather we have here in Britain J

Well I have now done the climb and what a climb it was. It took me 55 minutes over my initial timings but I still did it, 7hrs55mins later I was back on the road I started from.

A big thank you to all those people who pledged monies for this, a rough calculation shows I have been able to raise over £550 with your kind donations, so once again thanks.
