Hi everyone!!! I'm glad you've taken the time to read my story!!

 

I met Sarah a few years ago and instantly felt like I'd known her a life time, just by smiling and talking to you she could brighten up your day!! Sarah achieved such great things whilst she was with us and even more she is still inspiring people to do good for others, what an amazing human being she was! This is why I have chosen to take on the task of raising money in her memory for all of the causes she kept close to her heart. 

 

This task is going to be especially tough for me to take on as when I was younger I broke an awful lot of bones from the waist down, even walking up a steep hill is a giant task for me! 

 

 

When Sarah found out how it had happened she felt sad for me but also she told me I could do anything I wanted to do!!!!

 

She offered to help me and she has done, in so many ways.  Now it's my turn.

 

So please everyone help me reach my goal of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and raising £3,000.00 and help me to help others.

 

Thanks

Sophs

Sarah's inspirations in life came from children, art, fitness and adventure and a Memorial Fund has been established in Guernsey to support these four things.  It has full Trust status and is administered by the Guernsey Community Foundation www.foundation.gg

 

Funds allocated to Children will provide facilities, experiences and opportunities to young persons under the age of 16 that would otherwise be out of their reach financially or from an organisational perspective.  In many cases participants will come from deprived backgrounds both locally and overseas. Funds allocated to Art will provide educational experiences, opportunities and equipment to young persons under the age of 21 that would otherwise be out of their reach financially or organisationally. 20% of funds available within this category go towards an art bursary at Sarah’s school in Ascot where she spent 7 very happy years and where they still have very fond memories of her. Income will be generated by Adventure and Fitness (for example, people running marathons or going on expeditions).

 

This Memorial Fund represents Sarah and her inspirational philosophy of life.

 

Any donations are warmly welcomed, and thank you so much for your kindness and support! I will be paying a part of the travel and accomodation costs, and some of the money I fundraise will go towards the rest, but over 50% of money raised is purely for the Fund, which means that as a group we hope to raise, after all expenses, over £50,000!!! Which will be incredible for the Fund! 

 

Here is a link to a video that captures Sarah’s beauty and desire to make a change in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvJr3Pux-QQ
