Climbing Kilimanjaro · 27 May 2010

When You Wish Upon a Star has a simple mission: to grant the Wishes of children living with a life threatening illness. Wishes have the power to transform the lives of children and families. Since 1990, we have proudly granted over 19,000 Wishes across the UK. We'd love you to be part of the magic!

Hi All

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in May 2010 for three charities that are special to both of us. (Details of each charity shown below)

We aim to raise the money in many ways, such as hosting events, cake sales, bag packing at supermarkets, raffles, carboot sales and hopefully by receiving donations online from you guys.

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.

 

Deatils of Our Charities

Macmillan Cancer support

Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. They provide practical, medical, emotional and financial support and push for better cancer care. Cancer affects us all. We can all help.

When You Wish Upon a Star

When You Wish Upon a Star are a small charity whose primary aim is to grant the Wishes of children between the ages of 2 - 16 years old suffering from life threatening illnesses.

All children have Wishes but for these children and their families that Wish is so much more precious and for the duration of their Wish, these children are able to forget about hospital routines, doctors, gruelling treatments and have the chance to smile, laugh and enjoy life like any other child.

Wishes are varied and far reaching. For some it is a trip to Disneyland in Florida or Paris to meet their favourite characters and for others it is the chance to get up close to a favourite pop star of sporting hero. Some children just want books or toys, whilst others want a computer to catch up on school work or keep in touch with their friends.

Amboseli - Trust for Elephants

The Amboseli Trust for Elephants aims to ensure the long-term conservation and welfare of Africa's elephants in the context of human needs and pressures through scientific research, training, community outreach, public awareness and advocacy. We will aim to visit the Trust to donate the share of money personally.

 

Thank you very much for your time and your money is much appreciated not only from Leanne and Gemma, but from the charities themselves.

P.S As the Amboseli Trust for Elephants are not registered with the 'Just giving website' Gemma and I aim to raise a seperate amount to deliver in person after the climb. If you wish to donate to this charity please contact me via email (leannebradley4@hotmail.com)

We aim to ensure all charities raise the same amount.

 

Thank you
