Annapurna Trek · 19 March 2010

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of support for serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need. Our trained volunteers and employees provide practical, emotional and financial assistance to the Armed Forces community to ensure they never battle alone.

Story

In celebration of my 50th birthday in March I decided I really needed to get away from it all... and you can't get much further away than Nepal!

I am self-funding this trip, (or should I say Martyn's funding this trip) so all money raised will go to SSAFA. Rather than having a party and lots of presents I could probably do without I thought it would be better to ask for donations for our Armed Forces, particularly at this time.

This is a demanding ten day trek with daily hikes of between five and seven hours and two nights spent above 3000m. I shall be leaving England on the 19th March and will be returning on the 4th April 2010.

Obviously I will need to improve my fitness and there can be no better incentive than knowing I am doing something to help others.

Please sponsor me, AND THEN FORGET I'M FIFTY !!!
