I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I first visited Romania and volunteered with Cry in the Dark for a month itithe summer of 2008. It was an absolute pleasure and a privilege to spend time with the young people at Casa Lumina ('house of light') who were literally found 'crying in the dark' and saved from living in these appalling conditions (Please see video). The experience completely changed my life and led me to want to work as a teacher of young people with Special Needs. Cry in the Dark have committed to looking after the beautiful young people at Casa Lumina for life and desperately need the financial support in order to do that.

As someone who does not find hiking a particularly easy task, I would really appreciate your support to achieve the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge - 26 miles in 12 hours For such a valuable task. 

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.

Thank you so much!
