This year I have reached a milestone birthday, 50 years old!

I feel very fortunate to have reached this age - I have my health, family, friends and job and would like to give something back.

I would like to raise money in two ways this year:

- one by asking my friends to donate to charity rather than buy me a birthday present

- one by fundraising/sponsorship for a challenge I am taking in October, trekking 80km in Jordan over 7 days.

            The Jordan trek to Petra and Wadi Rum involves walking up to 10 miles each day and camping each night, but with great views and scenery along the way ending up at the spectacular historic site of Petra.  I am really excited about taking on this challenge, and really really pleased that I have some great friends coming too!!  - Deb, Sarah and Sally. 

This charity is a great support to local Cerebral Palsy sufferers and also for their carers.

My original target was £500, I was amazed to receive £550 from friends for my birthday, so have now increased the target to £1000 in hope that we will be able to give even more money to this caring charity.

Please give generously!
