My story

 
Hello,

I have always believed that there are 3 stages to life: Learn, Earn and Return. Every prophet, philosopher, poet and sage that has ever lived has always given us one unified message: that to serve other people with dignity and a pure intention is the highest level of living that we can possibly achieve. I hope to follow this advice.

Throughout my life, I have been grateful to my family and friends for their support. I am fortunate enough to have had a second chance to get the qualifications that led me to the profession that I love and the opportunity to work with people that I admire. When I think of people who do not have this, there is an urge inside me that asks a question, how can I help to create these magical feelings in them?

I believe that everyone should be given a fair chance in life and a good foundation upon which to build a future. Some of us (including all of the people reading this message!) are lucky because we have been given this. For others, however, an education, a home and a bit of love and support to help them meet the challenges of a demanding world, is something that they can only dream of. I hope to help make their dream come true. 
 
Later this year, I will be going on an expedition to the Himalayas. The trip expenses will be self-funded and all of the money that is donated will go directly towards the charity that I am supporting - Take Heart India (for details on the charity please visit http://www.takeheartindia.org/). Take Heart India focuses on helping Indian children get a good educational platform upon which they can build their lives. This charity is fully made up of volunteers, which means that every penny goes directly to this cause.

My goal is to raise funds for this charity. I really hope that you can support me by sponsoring me on this trek.
 
I would like to thank you in advance for your generosity, good-will and faith in me.
