My story

 

Hello and thanks for taking the time to visit my 'Climb4Children' Page.

At the end of October I am flying into Kathmandu, Nepal. In the 4 weeks that follow I'm aiming to climb 'Ama Dablam', a mountain in the Himalaya range of eastern Nepal.

I will be 'Climbing4Children' in the hope that I can raise a minimum of £1000 for Derian House Children's Hospice in Chorley. Providing specialist care and support for children with a terminal or life threatening illness, the hospice is open 365 days a year offering support to children and their families, yet as a charity only receives statutory funding for just 5 weeks. With more than £1.7 million needed each year it remains almost totally reliant on voluntary funding. If anyone needs any more reasons to donate (!), or would just like more information on Derian House please click the link at the bottom of the page.

For those who want to help me achieve my goal of raising £1000 there are 2 ways you can help:-

1) Dig Deep and Donate

If you can spare some money please donate what you can afford - click the 'Donate Now' button at the top of the page.

2) Pass on this message

Pass on this message and the link to this page (www.justgiving.com/climb4children) to any of your family and friends who might want to help.

 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me. Under the UK Gift Aid scheme, charities can reclaim 25% gift aid from the government for all donations from UK taxpayers. Because of Gift Aid reclaim every donation is worth more - for every £10 you donate Derian House will receive nearly £12. Fore more information click the Gift Aid link at the bottom of the page.

If however you don't want to donate online, or you are locked in a timewarp therefore can't donate online (!) please call me and I will gladly take your donation over the phone.

 

I have already been asked:-

'Is any of the money raised going towards the funding of your trip?' - Absolutely not, 100% of money raised is going to Derian House.

'Do i still owe the money if you dont reach the summit?' - Reaching the summit is no way guaranteed, if i do it will be a bonus, however all donations are non-refundable.

 

 

Thank you for your support, all donations will be very much appreciated!

 

Wish me luck!

Shane.
