A London Ambulance Service volunteer from Wimbledon is preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in memory of his late father.

Adam Reed will take on the challenge in September to raise money for the London Ambulance Charity and the MS Society.

He says the 19,000ft climb is also inspired by his father’s experience living with multiple sclerosis.

The 41-year-old says funds raised will support lifesaving equipment, CPR training and wellbeing support for frontline staff.
