My story

 
Hi, thanks for visiting my page
 
So, on 24th September 2010 I will be travelling to Peru for 10 days to trek along steep trails climbing to 4400m (that's 14,450 feet in old money), walking through the Peruvian Andes, past green valleys and tranquil mountain lakes and high passes and finally visiting the legendary Lost City of the Incas - Machu Picchu.
 
I am doing this to raise money for St Christopher's Hospice, a local hospice that provides a special form of care, helping patients and families to cope with life threatening illnesses. St Christopher's is somewhere that my family and friends have been associated with for many years, my Dad and the ARSE members ran from Lands End to John O'Groats to raise money and more recently Dave (a very close family friend) was cared for here, so for me it feels fitting to help them.
 
So please please, put your hand in your pocket and dig deep!!!!
 
Many thanks
 
Alex

Technical bit:
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it's the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
