Don't take risks without life insurance cover

Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005

Raising money for charity should be fun but anyone planning a high-risk event should ensure they have adequate life insurance cover.

Peter Griffiths, chief executive of Principality Building Society, is planning to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in the New Year as part of a campaign to raise £20,000 for the NSPCC.

The 20,000ft climb is likely to take around five days and could prove very difficult for the twelve people involved in the project so therefore they will be double-checking their insurance policy covers such adventurous trips.

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a personal challenge for me — not only to reach the summit but also to raise as much money as possible for the NSPCC’s appeal," said Mr Griffiths.

He added: "I have been training hard for the past few months with the support of the Welsh Regiment and although Kilimanjaro is almost seven times the height of Pen y Fan I’m sure the preparation will stand me in good stead to get to the top."
