Story

<p>Hi</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my&nbsp;JustGiving page supporting Down's Syndrome Scotland.&nbsp; As some of you know I am going to trek through the Sahara Desert in February to raise money for Help for Heroes and Down's Syndrome Scotland. To&nbsp;make a donation&nbsp;to Help for Heroes please follow this link</p> <p><a id="cphMain_cphJGSiteContent__accountContent__yourPageHeader__pageUrl" href="http://www.justgiving.com/Lyndsay-Redburn">http://www.justgiving.com/Lyndsay-Redburn</a></p> <p>I am going to trek for approx 70 miles through the deep Sahara desert, using wild camping spots on dry river beds over a 6 day period.&nbsp; The lower and upper temperature range will differ by over 40 degrees.&nbsp; There are no roads, no drinking taps, no shade, no shops, no mobile phone coverage, no newspapers, no televisions, no toilets; just sand and a few nomadic camels.</p> <p>I appreciate times are tough but any donation that can help either of these very worthy causes would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Lyndsay</p>
