***Stop press***

Julianne McGregor has had fantastic press coverage of her hula-hooping Kilimanjaro challenge! She has featured on the Metro and BBC News websites, to name but a few. Show Julianne your support by sponsoring her below.

Julianne McGregor, from London, is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to support World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK). But, unlike any other person that has climbed this extremely high African mountain, Julianne is planning to hula-hoop at the top of it! Please show Julianne your support for her enthusiastic (and slightly wacky) approach to raising vital funds for WCRF UK by sponsoring her below. Thank you in advance.

"Like most people, I have close friends and family in my life who are fighting, or have fought, cancer. They come from all walks of life but the one thing they have in common is an overwhelming positivity in the face of trials and a fantastic sense of humour.  At the risk of sounding cheesy, they inspire me every day and brighten the lives of those around them, so I thought it was high time I returned the favour.

So in my attempt to do something challenging, inspiring and potentially hilarious, I - a somewhat athletically disinclined girl - have decided to climb the highest mountain in Africa and Hula-Hoop on top!

My sponsorship target to make this happen is £3,350 which is challenging in itself, so I really appreciate your sponsorship - WCRF UK do fantastic work and your support is greatly needed.

And finally to Megs, Annie and everyone else fighting cancer right now - I hope this makes you smile. (If not, the pictures of me dirty, sweaty but resolutely hula-hooping surely will!)”
