The Railway Children

My story

3 peaks + 3 countries +36 hours = 4 Slumdog Mountaineers

What we are doing?

After a summer of intensive training the CrossTrekkers will be ready for the challenge of their lives

The equivilant of 3 half marathons in 36 hours we will be climbing Snowdon by night, Scafell Pike having had no sleep and ending it with climbing 1325m to the summit of Ben Nevis

Why are we doing it?

This charity works with children living on the streets both in the UK and abroad. They provide shelter, food, clothing, education and healthcare, the things that are all essential to a child's wellbeing. The thing that makes Railway Children unique is their goal to intervene with a child at the earliest opportunity before an abuser does.They aim to stop a runaway child becoming a street child.It's about getting to street kids before the streets get to them.

How can you help?

Your bit is easy all you have to do is click a few buttons and donate a few pounds.

We know times are hard for most right now but please dig deep and help us to raise money for a very worthwhile charity.

Our target is £3,500 so it really is a case that every penny or pound counts

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Railway Children 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.
