TRUCK-driver James Crossley is appealing for sponsorship for his fundraising climb of Mount Kenya next month.

The 51 year-old from Astley Bridge, who was featured in Wednesday's Bolton Evening News, will scale the 5,000m mountain over a period of five days.

The adventure will raise money for Bolton Mountain Rescue and Manchester-based children's cancer charity Francis House.

Mr Crossley has so far raised more than £1,300 with his efforts, but his hoping to raise a great deal more. To contact him, call 07739 977394.
