Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

This year I will be taking part in a Peak Challenge in the Balkans, summiting the highest mountains in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro. The challenge involves a week of tough hiking at altitude with steep ascents/descents, 9 hours a day hiking and bare minimum facilities. This is a huge mental and physical challenge of stamina but one I'm keen to take on!

The aim of putting myself through this is to raise funds and awareness for St Giles Trust; a charity who aim to empower young people to stay safe, and make positive choices for their futures. 50,000 children in the UK are exploited by gangs every year, and St Giles Trust do fantastic work to educate children on the dangers of gangs, exploitation and knife crime.

Nobody is exempt from the dangers of knife crime and street violence, no matter which city or area you live in. £8.34 can be saved to the taxpayer for every £1 invested in peer-led services, so please donate generously!
