News - Well Done Sir Ranulph Fiennes!

Sir Ranulph Fiennes has conquered Mount Everest in support of Marie Curie Cancer Care, a year after he was forced to abandon an attempt on the mountain.

The world-famous explorer reached the summit shortly before 1 am on 21 May 2009, despite having previously declared "no more mountains".

He's not stopping there - his mission now is to smash the £3 million target he set last year to support Marie Curie Nurses, giving more terminally ill patients the choice to die at home, surrounded by their families.

He was moved to support Marie Curie Cancer Care after he lost his mother, wife and two sisters, the latter three to cancer, all within an 18-month period.

At 65, Sir Ranulph is the oldest Briton to summit Everest, and the first explorer in history to reach the world's highest peak and the most Nrtherly and Southerly points on the planet.
