Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Those that know me will know that I'm living my love of adventure and as this one is a biggie, I felt I could justify asking people to sponsor me to do this one. 

In April 2013, I'll be trekking Everest Base Camp with 20 other people for fun and of course in support of two charities - you can donate to either or both.  It's a little over two weeks, getting to altitudes of almost 6,000m in rather difficult and potentially dangerous conditions.  I've got a mixed feeling of fear and excitement, which I think is a good mix and a sensible one to have!

I have personal experience of Altzeimer's as my nan developed it and it had a huge effect on both her and my family, in particular my dad (her son).  It's a devastating disease which is hugely under funded/researched/supported.  The Altzeimer's Society provide not only research into the disease, but also support for families and those affected by it - you can read more on their website http://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/?gclid=CN2l7qbQ07MCFe7MtAodZggAKA

I want to help ensure that going forward more sufferers and their familiies get the support needed to cope with this horrible disease and that more time and money is given to researching it so that people can keep those they love around for longer.  They might even find a cure one day with our support.

Below is a bit about how safe and easy it is to donate via JustGiving, so before I let you read that bit, I just want to say a massive thanks in advance for sponsoring me on this exciting adventure!  You all rock!

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
