Story

 

Dear Friends

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.  We are Cath Barton, Clare Trask and Joelle Duchemin.

5-year old Joe Cooke was tragically killed in an airgun accident in August of this year, just 2 years to the month after the premature death of his father.  His two brothers, mother Emma, granny Rae and the rest of the extended family are helped by the charity Grief Encounter.  Rae is a friend of ours and our hearts go out to her and her family.

We are lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit Nepal and trek in the Himalayas this month.  It will give us our own challenges - but wonderful rewards as well.  If you would like to sponsor us the money will go direct to Grief Encounter.  Read about the work which the charity does on www.griefencounter.org.uk

 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 - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

 

Thank you

 

love from Cath, Clare and Joelle

 

ps We're now back from our journey, as you can see from the photos.  We had a fantastic time and are so grateful to everyone who has made a donation - it's not too late to add your contribution....
