GAIL Carlisle has always wanted to do something meaningful, so she is heading to East Africa early next month to climb Kilimanjaro as a fund-raiser for Irish Injured Jockeys and the Children’s Heartbeat Trust.

The latter charity was chosen by Gail following the sad death of her cousin Catherine McNally’s son Leo. Leo had been due to undergo heart surgery when he tragically succumbed to a chest infection at the age of one and a half.
