Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Hello and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">As might know, every year I get out of my comfort zone, challenge myself in a physical activity and raise funds for charity in the process. Last year it was the 3 Peaks challenge (which feels like a distant memory now) and this year fortunately, I have been selected to be part of a group of&nbsp;33&nbsp;that will go on a trek to Mount Everest Base Camp in aid of Save the Children. This is a fully funded event which means that ALL of your generous donation will be given to Save the Children.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small; color: #606420; font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small; color: #606420; font-family: Times New Roman;"><a href="http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/about-us/where-we-work">Save the Children</a></span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United Kingdom and more than 120 countries reaching more than 80 million children around the world. Recognized for their commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, their work takes them into the heart of communities, where they help children and families help themselves. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 9.6pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">When disaster strikes, Save the Children responds quickly to save children&rsquo;s lives. In 2011 they responded to 45 emergencies in 38 different countries and helped over 3 million children.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">My objective is to raise &pound;4,000 which will be put towards the tremendous work that Save the Children do.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Please dig deep and support me as I embark on yet another challenge to raise vital funds which support a very worthy cause.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
