Mont Blanc Challenge

I am raising money for The Circulation Foundation. The funds are required to research into vascular (circulatory) disease. This disease can threaten life, limb or lifestyle and accounts for 40% of all deaths in the UK, many of which are premature and preventable. The charity also works to raise awareness of vascular disease.
