Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am aiming to raise as much money as possible to donate to this wonderful charity. On the 11th Aug, myself, and three fellow Marks and Spencer friends, will be attempting to complete the '3 peak challenge.' This extreme physical task involves climbing the highest peaks of England (Scafell Pike), Scotland (Ben Nevis) and Wales (Mt. Snowdon) in just 24 hours. If all goes to plan, we will start climbing in Scotland at midday on Friday, at Ben Nevis, and finish at Snowdon, after climbing it in the early hours of Saturday morning.

I have chosen this charity, because a few months ago, a close friend of my girlfriend, recieved awful news, that changed her life. She is now fighting to beat Cancer. Despite heavy treatment, she has continued to be the most positive, upbeat and loving person that her friends could ask for. She is amazing, and she has already managed to raise a significant amount of money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. We would like to add to this amount, and will be arranging a number of fundraising events, in the lead up to the climb. I would love to make her proud, and support a charity that is close to her heart. 

So please, no matter how big or how small the donation is, just donate. It would mean the world to so many people :) 

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.
