Raising money for

Tree Aid

Charity Registration No. 296708

TREE AID supports some of the poorest communities in Africa to fight poverty, become self reliant and improve their environment using trees. Since 1987 more than 450,000 villagers have planted more than 6 million trees. Trees mean shade, shelter, improved soil & crops, food, natural medicines, animal fodder, building materials, fuel for cooking, tools, and products that can be sold for money. TREE AID's support to fund and train families in sustainable land use means communities can thrive and not just survive, now and for generations to come.

My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On 22 May 2007 I summited Mt Everest - the highest mountain in the world at 8850 metres high. I am aiming to raise £15,000 for Tree Aid. When Gift Aid is added, this will bring the total to over £16,000 - more than half the height of Everest in feet! This target has almost been reached but I need your help to complete it.

So please dig deep and make an online donation to Tree Aid...

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor Tree Aid: if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. This means that after Justgiving's small transaction fee, Tree Aid receives approximately £12 for every £10 you donate, making this one of the most efficient methods of making a donation.

So please make a donation to Tree Aid through my Everest Challenge now!

Many thanks for your support.
