    Go for it Ran and the rest of the Marie Curie team, I know you won`t let this mountain beat you this time. if anyone can make this, it`s our Great British hero Sir Ranulph Twiselton- Wykeham-Fiennes.

    Spooky! 3 days ago I put down ‘Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know’ after reading the chapter ‘Almost’ and my wife put on the ITN News, which we rarely watch, only to find you’re doing it again. Sincerely hope you make both the summit and the £3 million, but hope you don’t need assistance from the guy in the green boots.

  29. Shane & Rachel Says:

    Our prayers and best wishes are with you all.
    A nice shower, real toilet, drinks and a comfy bed await you in Kathmandu :)

    Sir Ranulph. I have just finished your book. Absolutely amazing. You truly are an inspiration.

    To you all. Whatever happens, please come back safe. Remember, reaching the top is optional, getting back safely is mandatory.

    Will be monitoring the website all night to keep track of your progress. Looking forward to news of your success.

    Chris.

    Truly inspiring… how about giving me some advice on doing a challlenge for Marie Currie? I quite like the idea of attempting both Poles.

    Drop me a line if anyone can help me kick start the project
