The Borneo Challenge · 9 September 2011
Hello everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to check out and hopefully donate on my JustGiving page,
On the 12th May 2012 I will be taking part in a international challenge called the Ultimate Borneo Challenge, here is some details of what the challenge is all about.........
Taking place in the Sabah region of Borneo within Malaysia, my trip begins with a 2 day climb to summit the highest mountain in South East Asia - the mighty Mt Kinabalu - in order to see the sunrise. Standing at 4,095m, this mountain has it all - deep lush jungle to breathtaking granite summits.
Glowing from the success of conquering Mt Kinabalu, I then embark on the second leg of the triathlon challenge - to cycle 170km over 2 days through the breathtaking Crocker Range, known as the 'Spine of Sabah'.
The amazing end to our challenge will be white water rafting down the Padas River - a white knuckle ride I'll remember forever.
All the money raised will be going to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Research,
I have had the pleasure to meet a young man called Callum Gosling who was diagnosed with Leukemia in September 2009,
I asked Andrea to say a few words about Callum....
Callum was diagnosed in September 2009 with Leukeamia. He has had to endure two intensive blocks of treatment which lasted over 8 months. The treatment was very harsh and consisted of Chemotherapy, Lumbar punctures and steroids. His treatment will last 3 years in total. He is being treated in Alder Hey who have been extremely supportive.
So please to all my famliy, friends & people that Idont know me but somehow I have got your contact details!!! Please dig deep and click DONATE NOW and make a diiference in someones life......
Don't forget to use the gift aid if you are a UK tax payer and Please leave me a comment.
Thank You
