My story

 

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

The Aim:  To climb Mount Everest and raise £29,035 (£1 for every foot I climb) in order to rebuild a school in Liberia which will allow up to 500 children access to an education.

Note:  The expedition is entirely self funded.  ALL money donated will go directly to the project.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Save the Children 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.

James
