In October 2012 I’ll be spending 7 days trekking 3 volcanoes (Mount Etna, Vesuvius and Stromboli) in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust (CAFT).

CAFT is a magical place that provides holidays, daytrips & Christmas parties for ill, disabled or disadvantaged children. Many of these children do not have the type of childhood and quality of life that many of us take for granted.

The aim of CAFT is to provide these children, and their families, with a special place which helps the children to improve their quality of life, forget their sorrows and have some well deserved fun. It helps children create special memories, memories of fun and laughter that they can treasure. It has numerous facilities including, an art room, a music room, a multi-sensory suite, respite accommodation, a sensory garden and an adventure playground to name a few.

Changing the lives of these children may not be possible, but making a difference to their lives is. CAFT believe this and aim to make a difference.

This special place is totally dependent on voluntary contributions and it costs over £800,000 each year to allow them to continue their work.

So please, think of what it means to a terminally ill or disabled child to forget their woes, start having fun and make memories to treasure in their darkest moments.

Help CAFT to make a difference - please give generously.
