ChildLine is the UK's free and confidential, 24 hour helpline for children in distress or danger. Trained volunteer counsellors comfort, advise, support and protect children and young people who may feel they have nowhere else to turn. Children call ChildLine about a wide range of problems, but the most common problems are abuse (both sexual and physical), bullying, serious family tensions, worries about friends' welfare and teenage pregnancy. Children and young people can call ChildLine about anything – no problem is too big or too small. ChildLine is a service provided by the NSPCC

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am undertaking an expedition to raise money for ChildLine in April 2007.  The trip to the saw-tooth peaks of Lesotho (Le-soo-too), the “ Mountain Kingdom ” or “Kingdom in the Sky” of Southern Africa will be a very challenging and demanding journey. Please help me raise my fundraising target by digging deep and sponsoring me online.

Surrounded entirely by South Africa Lesotho has problems that are typical of many African countries, namely TB, malaria, Aids (around 20% of the population) and malnutrition - life expectancy in the country is just 37 years.  The trip will involve spending several days at various projects to volunteer around the camps and see the work that is being done to help the people of Lesotho. T his will be followed by a 6 night and 7 day trek and climb in the mountains, experiencing the countries formidable, beautiful terrain, competing with the elements.

Our last expedition to the Himalaya in 2005 was a huge success, our 20 strong team raised in excess of £80,000 for ChildLine.  

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