Appeal of the Day.............

Tom Newton-Dunn, Defence editor at The Sun and supporter of this blog writes.......

'In a bid to forget my pathetic abseil down The Sun’s HQ in a chicken suit, I am climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Help For Heroes; with a little help.

Standing at 19,331 ft, Kili is the world’s highest freestanding mountain... and I am still afraid of heights.

Luckily, a team of wounded soldiers (two lower leg amputees, one who is blind, and one shot in the spine) plus a Page 3 girl are coming up with me. Undoubtedly, all five will beat my tear-stained, wretched heap to the top.

Please make this horror worthwhile and donate as much as you can to a hugely important cause. If you were kind enough to give in April, here’s a second chance to shame me. Afghanistan is getting worse, the guys really do need all the help they can get.

Thanks very much for anything you can do... Tom'.
