SO WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

Well, here I am; a 56 year old busy General Surgeon whose life seems to revolve around work and family (mainly the former!) Every year I try to set myself a "challenge", this could be mental or physical, home or work orientated. However it must be said that the goals are usually based around "me". So this year I thought that I'd try to do something for others. However I can't escape from the "me" thing and so I've decided to combine a personal ambition with a money raising charitable cause. I've wanted to visit the ancient temple at Machu Picchu in Peru ever since I've known it existed, but I didn't want to do it on buses and trains but by walking the Inca Trail. So when I saw the opportunity of achieving this goal on the Macmillan Cancer Charity web-site I jumped at the chance. Hence come next May (2011) I shall be trekking the Inca trail!! I'm hoping to raise at least £10,000. Now, I'm not the fittest or youngest guy in the world and whilst I can't get any younger I can get fitter. So, I've set myself a gruelling 39 week fitness regime with the added goals of weight loss(and waist-line shrinkage!). The added benefit is that I'm hoping to get legs that will ski the tails off the younger and fitter members of my "boys ski trip"! This blog is to share my trials, tribulations, successes (and failures) Mike x
