My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I work with torture survivors from all over the world who have fled persecution in their home country and are seeking asylum in the UK. They are shattered individuals who have a huge mountain to climb to overcome the traumas of their experiences and rebuild their lives again. The Medical Foundation offers many services which help our clients to achieve this. We walk with them and support them on their journey.

I am going  to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, which is some challenge considering the altitude and my total lack of fitness!! But the one thing that will keep me going is the constant though that my hardships and difficulties are nothing compared to the horrors our clients have endured.

Please donate generously. All your money goes to the Medical Foundation as I have paid the cost of the trip myself.

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.

Thank you so much in anticipation XX
