Oh My God,  so its almost time for me to depart and tackle the final stage of a true journey for me that begun back in March witha  few life changing decisions for me.

We fly out of Heathrow at 9PM GMT on Friday night and begin the climb in the early hours of Sunday morning local time.  There will be some good updates available of our progress via the GWR website so please do visit:  www.gwrfm.co.uk to see how we are getting on

A massive THANK YOU to each and everyone of you that have sponsored me so far

I'm still a bit short of crossing the line for fund raising so anything you can spare for this worthy cause is really appreciated.

Thanks for reading

Gary

GWR FM's charity, GWR Kids which is supported by Nationwide, has a commitment to helping Wiltshire's children and young people up to the age of 18 who experience the negative effects of poverty, abuse, neglect, homelessness, violence, crime, illness or disability.

GWR Kids focus is on raising money locally, and awarding grants to community groups and charities that operate in the local community to support children and young people from the age of 0-18 years.

Every year GWR Kids organises local fundraising events that every age can get involved in. We hope that with the help and support of GWR FM DJ's, listeners, local celebrities, corporate partners, volunteers and of course employees, the fundraising year on year will help more and more children and young people in the area, enabling them to achieve dreams and ambitions they would never have thought possible.

 GWR KIDS 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.
