On Saturday 21st May 2011, we are aiming to complete a charity walk in the Lake District ascending Red Pike, High Crag, Haystacks, Fleetwith Pike, and High Stile. It is a 12 mile route (19km) graded as strenuous and we expect to take around 8-9 hours to complete it as we'll be ascending over 3,500 feet (1,100m) which is the equivalent of walking up London’s famous Gherkin 6 times. We would greatly appreciate your generous support in helping to raise money for Pump Aid, a charity that works to provide sustainable supplies of clean water and safer sanitation in areas that lack such basic human needs. To give you an idea: £1 can provide someone sanitation for life £10 gives a family of four clean water for life £20 pays for all materials, tools and building an Elephant toilet. £50 pays for a variety of fruit trees for a community of 250 people (and check out the website for where these get planted!!) £150 pays for all materials, seeds and fertiliser for planting a nutrition garden providing a healthy source of food for a community of 250 people £500 pays for the direct cost of installing an Elephant pump providing 250 people with clean water 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 - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. So please dig deep and donate now. Thank you! The Pump Aiders
