Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page. A few years ago my daughter went profoundly deaf which was extremely traumatic for both her and my family. The NDCS were fantastic in both helping us through that and providing ongoing support and I would like to pay them back for this and have decided to join their trek up Kilimanjaro in Africa. Just a few facts about the ‘hill’, at 19,340 ft it is the highest free standing mountain in the world and is a 60 mile trek to the summit which I will do in 8 days, and on average 3 people a year die attempting the climb, most die due to altitude sickness, although the total number of fatalities (due to a variety of causes) is put at between 10 and 15. Just Giving – 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. You can even text, just text EDDY99 to the number 70070 plus the number you want to donate. So if you want to donate £1 just text EDDY991 to 70070 ........SIMPLES! I really hope that you will feel motivated to make a donation for an activity that will seriously challenge me as a person and ultimately contribute to the valuable work of NDCS, as well as marking my 50th birthday So please dig deep and donate now.
