My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year the Assynt Mountain Rescue Team has been much busier than normal. We've been doing searches for missing people, helping rescue people, performing first aid on casualties, etc and continuing an extensive training programme to ensure that all of our volunteers can provide as high a level of professional service to members of the public as possible. Because we have been much busier, its meant that our operating costs have been higher.

We hold an annual sponsored walk to help raise funds for our charitable work. I'm sure that you'll agree that unpaid volunteers providing a professional level of service is good value for money. We need to raise funds partly to cover ongoing expenses associated with running the mountain rescue team but also to help replace equipment as it becomes damaged/used (e.g. bandages, ropes, vehicles, etc). This year, our sponsored walk, is up the Munro called Conival. Full details are shown here http://www.assynt-mrt.co.uk/Walk.html.

Please consider coming along and participating in the Assynt MRT's annual sponsored walk, but if you are unable to make it then please sponsor me (as an Assynt Mountain Rescue Team member) to reach the summit of this mountain on the 12th September 2009.

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. Your donation could help save your life or that of a loved one !

Thank you
