Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

WOW!! - we've made the target ......but there's always room for more!!!

COMPLETED the Camino to Santiago. When I said Santiago or  bust I didn´t realise quite how close it would get to that!! 

Couldn't rest there, so went on to Finisterre - got really wet on the second day, but reached the end of the world with sore feet but in time for a classic sunset which was v. beautiful.

My feet were a unique blend of blisters held together by a few toes, but now mending.

 Lots of people on the Camino  asked about the Trust and were so interested that some also donated!

I did this for the Peter Le Marchant Trust (www.peterlemarchanttrust.co.uk)) which puts a smile on the face of countless disabled children and adults though their canal trips. We need to keep the boat afloat for the child who spoke for the first time for several years; the stroke victim who spoke, again for the first time for ages; these are the stories of smiles that make this such a worthwhile charity to support.

All donations are  invaluable, as they enable the work of the charity  to continue - there are  some whose illness is so critically life-limiting, that their trip, which gives them a one-off joyful experience, may never be repeated.

Please help -  give as generously as you can to bring a new smile to the face of some-one unable to enjoy so many things that most take for granted. Just  £23 enables one disabled or seriously ill person the chance to smile and even begin again.

It was worth walking all those miles if it raises new smiles and keeps the boat afloat.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on 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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
