Tim Montgomerie
As I type this I'm sat in the warmth of my Salisbury home with the smell of a just eaten bacon sandwich lingering.
Former Scottish Secretary Lord Forsyth, aged 56, has decided to do away with life's luxuries and begins tomorrow another of his fundraising adventures.
He leaves Punta Arenas in Chile to climb Mount Vinson – the highest peak in Antarctica. He has currently raised a fantastic £332,844 for Marie Curie Cancer Care (the 80% beneficiary) and CINI charities. I've just made my donation and if you'd like to give please do so via this link. His revised target is £350,000. It would be good to help him reach it.
Via his blog you can keep up-to-date with his two week mission.
