"I am so proud to say that we sumitted Kilimanjaro at 8am yesterday morning. I can’t describe that sense of standing at the highest point in Africa… and what a view!
We are tired but so so pleased to have raised money for the Epilepsy Society to improve the lives of those living with the condition".
