Kilimanjaro Trek · 17 February 2009

Sparks raises money to fund pioneering child health research across the UK, helping to find new treatments and cures for children and families who desperately need them.

Story

After

After seeing the birth of my twins Sebastian & Lana, and the instant relief at being told that both were healthy, I had the sudden realisation that other parents may not be as lucky me. I wanted to do something to help those children and parents so I got in touch with Sparks. I was truly moved by what I have learnt and wanted to know what I could do to help.

After much thought and wine I decided to climb Kili and roped Andy into doing it with me for moral support, and with his impending arrival he naturally jumped at the chance ;-) 

        

Climbing Kili is probably going to be the toughest physical challenge we will ever face, but if we can help more babies to be born healthy and stay healthy then it will be worth every painful, tiring step! 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SPARKS gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
