My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

This year I decided that I needed a challenge,something to aim for so I thought, why not combine this with doing something for a good cause? Thats when the Great Wall of China trek idea came up. A 10 day expedition walking along the great wall of China, in order to raise money for my chosen charity 'Make a wish Foundation'.

The Great Wall of China stretches 6000km in a dotted line across the mountains and was built in the 5th Century BC.The trek is continuous for 7 days with up to 8 hours walking a day along the wall ,steep mountain paths and hillsides. At night we will be sleeping at local peoples houses and farms in the villages.

***I need to raise £2500.00, so any donation however big or small is greatly apreciated and a big help***

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

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
