Thank you very, very much for visiting my fundraising page.

From the 24th-29th September 2009, I will be in Italy, climbing 3 volcanoes - Vesuvius, Stromboli and Etna (in that order). And no, Vesuvius isn't dormant - and neither are the other two - far from it!

I am paying my own travel and accommodation costs, so you can be sure that whatever you donate will go straight to Anti-Slavery International - you aren't subsidising my hols!

Anti-Slavery International is the world's oldest international human rights organisation, and the only charity in the UK to work exclusively against slavery and related abuses. They work at local, national and international levels to eliminate the enslavement and human trafficking of children and adults around the world.

Please help me to support this wonderful charity. I know that times are tough for all of us at the mo, but they're tough for charities too, and even tougher for people around the world whose freedom, hope and humanity have been stolen. Anything that you're able to give will help to make a difference to another human being's life.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Anti Slavery International 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.

So please, please do sponsor me now!
