Climbing in the Himalayas to raise money for kids with cancer (update)

Calum Morris-Macintyre and the others in the summit climbing team are hoping to reach the top tomorrow. Apparently the weather forecast is good. Unfortunately Dave Morris has had a chest infection, so he has been confined to base camp.

Through justgiving 16-year-old Calum (going like an ox, I gather) has now raised £2697 plus £674.81 (Gift Aid supplement) – a total of £3371.81. His target before Gift Aid is £5000 and he is 54% of the way there.

Details of the project are in the initial post here and further details are here on the justgiving.com site and also on Sandy Allan's teamascent blog. Sandy is a qualified International Mountain Guide and is accompanying Calum and Dave.
