Chester dad to take on unclimbed Himalayan peak to help find cure for son

A dad is preparing to take on a gruelling Himalayan peak more than four times higher than Ben Nevis in support of his nine-year-old step-son.
Kieran Toner, from Christleton, Chester, will embark on the trek up Napal’s ‘Beding Go’ 6,125 metre peak after his step-son, Ruben Baldwin, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes two years ago.
His aim is to raise £5,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) - a charity researching into a cure - by reaching the summit of the unclimbed mountain in November.
He has already raised almost £3,000.
