My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

THE TRIP involves walking approximately 10 miles a day over 6 days through some stunning scenery, but with some fairly strenuous, steep and tough going sections. I'd like to say that I was prepared, but instead I'm confident that I'll be totally exhausted well before the easier downhill sections. In addition to the more well known areas, we will be crossing "wild" sections of unrestored wall close to the Mongolian border.

My other half Christine has already raised over £7000 for the Ayshire Hospice and as you can see she has me hooked too!

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

P.S. A big thanks to everyone who has contibuted offline so far.

Regards

Graham Gibson
