Story

<p>Thanks to all of you who have supported me so far! I smashed my &pound;3k target and am still fundraising!! I had a busy time in November at my Christmas Fair which raised &pound;672! We had a santa and a school choir and lots of stalls and refreshments, it was very festive! Also been busy with Coffee Mornings and Pamper Nites so doing well on the Fundraising front. Have a look at my blog on&nbsp;my <a href="http://rebecca-trek-india.moonfruit.com/">website</a> for the latest updates, <a href="http://rebecca-trek-india.moonfruit.com/">Rebecca-Trek-India.co.uk</a></p> <p>The Trek is getting closer - I have just started training. I have a fitness plan, am&nbsp;going walking and starting Power Yoga. All this should help me tackle the challenging trek of&nbsp;60km&nbsp;over 5 days&nbsp; in the&nbsp;Indian Himalaya in May 2011! I will also be camping in subzero temperatures!</p> <p>Why am I doing this? This is&nbsp;a great opportunity to raise money for a FANTASTIC cause - the Yorkshire Cancer Centre at St James Hospital Leeds. <br />The appeal will fund specialist equipment, research, therapeutic projects and home from home comforts for <br />cancer patients in wards, who come to St James Hospital Oncology Unit from all over Yorkshire.This is also an opportunity for me to put something back after the amazing care I received last year.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Thanks for reading this page - please please support me by donating.</p> <p>Lots of love and thanks</p> <p>Rebecca xxx</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
