Story

<p><!--StartFragment-->Hi guys thanks for dropping by and thank you to everyone who has already donated so generously.</p> <p>I have successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro and stood on the roof of Africa the highest free standing mountain in the world.</p> <p>All my extensive training paid off and your wonderful donations helped me every step of the way.</p> <p>I have made some wonderful friends along the way and their support has been tremendous.</p> <p>Please keep the money pouring in and help me put my target to St Margaret's Hospice through the roof!!</p> <p>This has all been in memory of my Dad Michael John Helyar, who benefited greatly from&nbsp;St Margaret&rsquo;s, spending the last few weeks of his life in a beautiful, contemporary building full of light and love. Their individual care and professionalism helped us all through this difficult time and allowed Dad to die with dignity and respect.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Let St Margaret&rsquo;s live on and continue their work to help others during the last stages of an incurable illness.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Picture me holding one of those great big oversized cheques with lots of noughts on the end, that&rsquo;s what I aim to achieve for a wonderful charity funded by public donations. Your support will make this vision come true.</p> <p>Clarexx</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.icatchingdesign.co.uk/">http://www.icatchingdesign.co.uk/</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!--EndFragment--> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
