Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page. Your first step towards making this a better world has been taken, now Please dig deep and sponsor me online today.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: ActionAid will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra huge 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you, making your donation reach further.

I am a sheltered housing scheme manager and in September with my son www.justgiving.com/markcs  We will be taking part in  a gruelling charity challenge to trek in the ‘Footsteps of the Maasai’ in the African wilderness where we will come face to face with Maasai warriors.

We have signed up for the trek through the grasslands and volcanic hills of the beautiful Rift Valley in Tanzania East Africa. Before we set off we have to raise at least £5,400 in sponsorship. We held a race night on 5th May which raised £750 this was quickly boosted to £1,030 with donations.  We are anticipating the same again at our quiz night on 23rd June. We have raised over £700 at a Charity Sale and have organised a car boot sale. A coffee morning with Tombola stall held by friends on 26th May netted over £100 Any other fundraising ideas welcome. email f.satterthwaite@ntlworld.com 80% of sponsorship money has to be raised by July, two months before the Trek!

 I have supported ActionAid for many years sponsoring lots of children during this time. A few years ago I decided I needed to do more so I took part in my first trek which was to China. I was unfit and found it a real challenge but I really enjoyed the experience.

I look forward to telling my grandchildren about my trekking experiences and hopefully they will continue the cause when they are old enough. I aspire to trekking with them!!!!

I am ensuring that I am fit for the African challenge by going to the Gym at least 3 times a week and walking on other days.  

So please sponsor me now and tell as many of your friends and family about this most worthy cause!

Many thanks for your support, every penny is greatly appreciated by litterally millions of people worldwide. 

 What an amazing experience!! It has been life changing. We trekked with a great group all very supportive. I would reccommend this trek to others. A great way to make new friends.
