This year Kate Synott will be swapping high heels and cocktails for hiking boots and energy drinks and taking on one of the biggest challenges of her life - climbing the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. What she'll do in the name of charity. On 21st September 2011 she will set off to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and I hopes by that date the fundraising total will be sitting nice and flush at £20K for UCAN.
