Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
In October 09 I will be part of a fundraising expedition to trek the Great Wall of China to raise funds for Dentaid. I will be trekking between 5 and 8 hours per day depending on the severity of the terrain, I may need poles but not ropes - thank heaven! This challenge is for a very worthy cause and the subject of dental health is very close to my heart. At this exact moment, more people are suffering pain from untreated dental decay and oral disease than any other global health complaint - THIS is a real pandemic! Tens of thousands die every year in terrible pain from tooth infections and oral diseases. Dental education and prevention of dental disease is desperately poor in underdeveloped countries while Western sugar products with their limitless advertising budgets are the principal cause of the deterioration of oral health.
I would be very happy if you would support me taking part in this expedition.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Dentaid 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.
Thank you in advance for your sponsorship.
