Hi all
To cut a long story short my 2yr old son has been diagnosed with a particularly rare disease called Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) which is very similar to cancer but not classed as one
I'm doing a charity climb up mount kilimanjaro in 2019 and the 3 peaks challenge next year to raise money and awareness of the charity's that have been so helpful to us during this difficult time
Apart from getting my fitness and endurance up, I have no idea about hiking or mountain climbing but am fully aware I need quite a lot of kit including good hiking boots and breathable layers of clothing
Has anyone got experience in this department? Obviously I've googled what's on the market but first hand experience is really what I'm after
Thanks in advance
