My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Castaways Community Development Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

If I have spoken to you already you will be aware of the challenge I face - I am dog sledding 250km in April '09. This will be a HUGE personal challenge. Sledding is very physically demanding and I will not be staying in luxury accommodation - just a tent on the snow with an average temperature of -20c!

I have personally chosen the charity I am fundraising for and I  feel that Castaways is a very deserving cause. They do a massive amount of work in the community helping the most deprived people. They have faced numerous setbacks including the Castaways Charity Shop being flooded in 2007. I hope that I will raise enough money to help them with necessary building work and support their continued good work. As I am fundraising for a smaller charity, even the smallest donations will make a difference to them without the expense of huge wage bills.
Many thanks for your support.
