Well, I've been completely amazed by the response I've had and humbled by people's generosity. My origional target of £2000 at the time seemed daunting to me, but now I can see how little faith I had. Now with renewed vision I have set a new target of £7700 purely because my dear Mother will be 77yrs in October and also 7 is the perfect number. 

When I saw this opportunity to go to the Himalayas with the Alzheimers Society I thought it was a chance not to be missed. As my Dad passed away last August and my Mum facing the onslaught of Alzheimers, I thought what a great way to raise money for a truly worthy cause.

Every penny that you give will go wholly to the Society ( I'm paying for the trek myself ). Your contribution will be helping to provide funding to research into the cause, cure and prevention of the disease; providing support for people with the illness; campaigning for improved health and social care and providing resources and traning
