Hike the Himalayan Kingdom · 21 May 2009

Based in Manchester, MedEquip4Kids improves the health of babies and children in the UK by providing equipment not available from limited NHS resources. Because we value all aspects of children’s wellbeing, we also deliver workshops in schools to support young people’s mental health.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at my fundraising page, whatever amount you can give will be greatly appreciated.

I have now completed the challenge but keep findraising at least until I hit my target. Please share my fundraising page with your friends and colleagues! Thanks.

The challenge is a 5 day trek in the Himalayas ~15km a day, which doesn't sound much but the rocky road, great slopes and height will make it a ted harder than a stroll in a park. There is also surviving 4 nights in camp,  which (to me) is even more of a challenge (to be honest, I am dreading it).

I started a blog to record my fundraising progress, training for the challenge (which will - hopefully - get me back into sufficient shape to cope) and plan to write a 'Himalayan diary',  which will also be published there together with pictures. Check it out: http://gabriellasfundraisingchallenge.blogspot.com/  Any comments, suggestions are welcome!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: MedEquip4Kids 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 sponsor me now!
