Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>10 years ago this year, I had a bad fall whilst rock climbing in the Peak District, breaking both legs badly. Without the help I recieved from the Edale Mountain Rescue team that came to my aid that day, there is a very good chance I would not be walking, let alone still doing the job I love.</p> <p>To show my gratitude I am going to climb Kilimanjaro in September, and in doing so I am aiming to raise &pound;10K. Ambitious? Maybe, but I think&nbsp;&pound;1k for every year I have been able to keep working is a fair target.</p> <p>The team is a purely voluntary organisation, and all the money I raise will go towards helping them continue to provide a vital professional service to everyone who uses the Peak District.</p> <p>I hope that you will agree that this is a worthwhile cause, and any donation you can give, no matter how small will be gratefully recieved.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>If you wish you can donate via your mobile, simply by texting the code <span class="textMessage">FLMC67 followed by the amount you wish to donate (1,2,3,5 or 10)&nbsp;to 70070 e.g</span></p> <p><span class="textMessage"> <div class="donation-mobile">To: 70070<br><span class="textMessage">FLMC67</span><br>&pound;10</div> </span></p> <p>This way is supported by vodafone, so 100% of the money goes to the charity.</p> <div class="donation-mobile">To: 70070</div> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
