My story

Updated on May 11th 2012 at 3:50 PM from the JustGiving API

So I have completed stages 1 and 2, nearly killed myself in the process and can barely walk from the pain. Thank you everyone who has donated so far. It means a lot and makes the leg pain much more bearable! Just the white water rafting to go now......

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So, I have taken it upon myself to trek up the highest mountain in South East Asia, cycle down the other side, then white water raft my way out of there.

This triathlon style challenge takes place in the Sabah region of Borneo within Malaysia, home of the Orangutan. This is an amazing adventure starting with a two day trek to summit the mighty Mount Kinabalu. Standing at 4,095m, it is the highest mountain in South East Asia. From its deep and lush tropical jungle to its granite summit, it is the focal point of the stunning Kinabalu National Park. Next is a challenging 170km cycle ride over two days, through the breathtaking Crocker Mountain Range, known as the ‘Spine of Sabah’. We finish the challenge with a raft down the awesome Padas River. 

As well as this being a huge personal challenge, I wanted to highlight the amazing work done by Paediatric Osteopaths all over the country and especially the incredible job that the Osteopathic Centre for Children does here in London.

As most of you know, this is a subject close to my heart as they improve the lives of thousands of babies and children each and every year. You may not be aware but they are not part of the NHS and as a charity they are entirely reliant on donations to keep the clinics open.

Over the years I have seen so many young lives transformed through this delicate and caring treatment which has made such a huge difference to the families involved. Treatment is paid for on a donation basis and no patient is ever turned away which makes this challenge all the more worthwhile.

I strongly recommend researching and investigating the potential of osteopathic treatment for any parent with any health or behavioral concerns for their child.

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.
