........(June 2009) two sisters spent some quality time together at a spa, this was not a usual activity, indeed it was the first time that they had enjoyed a spa day together. As they were relaxing in the steam room and reflecting on their lives, sister number one said to the other "I would like to do something really worthwhile". "Yes!" said sister number two "So would I. I know! Why don't we climb Kilimanjaro for Macmillan?". In their massage induced, trance like state, both sisters agreed that this would be a splendid idea.
Next day, sister number one enthusiastically downloaded three application forms for Kilimanjaro Challenge 2010 for Macmillan Cancer Support, the third was for her husband who was also enticed by the prospect of undertaking this challenge. The forms were completed and sent off in first class post. Two days later they received the news that their applications had been accepted. It was only at this point that the enormity of the challenge dawned on sister number two .....
I am sister number two. It would be far more likely for me to enter a sponsored cake eating competition than climb the highest free standing mountain in the world and that is why I have entitled this blog 'From couch potato to mountain goat in one year'.
