A student from Burnham has set himself the ultimate challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF).

“Keen trecker” Huw Haley hopes to raise £2,990 for the charity by scaling the world’s tallest mountain.

The 20-year-old History student said: “The charity is a particularly important one, because the people most at risk from this horrible disease are young people and children.”

Donations can be made by going to Just Giving.
