My blog started in 2007 as a journal of my trek to the summit of Mount Kenya to raise money for Vision Africa. Since then I have tried to keep the blog going with occasional thoughts and updates about issues concerning me as Chairman of the charity, which I hope you will find interesting. Of course all the history of the trek is still buried in the blog archive - starting in June 2007. Newest Posts are at the top, so best to read from the bottom.
Well here we are in Kenya at last! We arrived yesterday at 7am and after a quick breakfast we were straight off to project visits for the rest of the day. We fell into our beds exhausted at 10pm ready to get up at six to start our Mount Kenya challenge. So here we are on the Thika road with about four hours of pot holed roads in front of us before we jump out and start walking. Let the adventure begin!

I am a part time volunteer and Chairman of Vision Africa. I live in Watford and am married with 3 grown up boys. In my day job I run a busy global Service Design team for BT (British Telecom). I have been Chairman of Vision Africa since it's inception in 2001. While it is sometimes difficult to give it the time it deserves, I count being Chairman as a real privilege. Of course, I'm not a one man band and we have a great team at Vision Africa that makes our work possible. This blog started in September 2007 when I led a fundraising challenge to Trek to the top of Mount Kenya. With the support of my friends and colleagues we were able to raise a fantastic amount of money (around £20k) which provided support for a lot of children!
