My story

 

Thanks for taking the time for this.

Beginning Oct 1, me and my 6 fellow treckers will climb to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa (5895m)

It is a personal challenge and an opportunity to raise some pennies for a good cause.

All costs of the entire trip are being covered personally, so all money raised is going to go straight to Downs Syndrome Educational International. ANY DONATIONS FROM 50p ARE WELCOME AND APPRECIATED, no donation is too small!

As you may know my 6 year old  nephew Daniel has Downs Syndrome and over Dans six years we have learnt a huge amount about the value of the incredible work and research they have done in helping change the lives of people with Down Syndrome for the better. Dan can vouch for this 3 years into mainstream education and loving every minute of it.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your donations!
