Thanks for visiting our fund-raising page.
My father Brian and I want to raise money for Diabetes UK.
We have chosen to raise money for Diabetes as we recently lost a relative who had the condition. It was quite a shock to lose my cousin David at age 36.He had suffered for a long time with diabetes complicated by bouts of depression, it is his parents wish that the money raised by you all goes to help with diabetes research.
The aim was to do 2 x charity climbs this year, and well I did it. Woo hoo.
Ben Nevis was a real challenge, and wake up call for Kili. With a steep ascent, four seasons in one day with lovely sunshine at the base but 9ft of snow with no visibility and gale force winds at the top.
Kilimanjaro is the world's highest freestanding mountain at 5,895m! It was the toughest thing I have ever done, but eventually after a 6 day trek on the 10.09.09 at 8.20am I reached the 'Uhuru' summit. I hope that the feeling you get from getting to the top will stay with me as long as possible. If I could bottle it, I'd be a rich girl.
Please keep donating, it means a great deal to me, my family and Diabetes UK.
All of your money goes straight to Diabetes UK. I paid for the trip myself.
I've also set up a blog with my training diary and other interesting bits and pieces. I hope to update monthly. Go to (I think you have to copy and paste in another browser) http://graciesbetruetoyou.blogspot.com/
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Diabetes UK 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.
