Story

<p>Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.</p> <p><br />As some of you may know, I was brave/silly/mad enough to jump out of a plane at 12,000 feet last year to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of you may also know that this is a charity very close to my heart as my husband Tim has lost his two older brothers to this disease.</p> <p><br />I have decided to raise money for the CF Trust again, this time I will be walking a section of the Great Wall of China in October 2011.&nbsp; I have given myself plenty of time to train for this so I have no excuse not to complete it!&nbsp; I will be walking 12kms a day for seven days, if you want to know more about what I'm doing, just visit <span style="color: #0000ff;">www.charitychallenge.com/expedition.html?id=1275</span></p> <p>In addition to this, being a huge fan of a certain red haired Australian comedian, I am also being set challenges by fellow fans.&nbsp; If you would like to set me a task to perform on the Wall, please e.mail me at cathy.penrose@btinternet.com and I will do my very best to oblige!</p> <p>Which just leaves me to say, PLEASE SPONSOR ME!!!&nbsp; This time I have a much higher target than before so I would be extremely grateful for your donation.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is such a worthy cause, nowadays children and young adults live with CF longer than they used to but it is still incurable and one in 25 of us carry the gene, usually without ever knowing it.&nbsp;</p> <p><br />Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It&rsquo;s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cystic Fibrosis Trust gets your money faster and, if you&rsquo;re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.<br />Thank you for your support :o)</p>
