My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I am taking part in the Inca Trail in Peru between 1st - 10th October to raise money for Essex Air Ambulance.

About the Trek

The Trek is certainly going to be a challenge! It includes.....very steep terrain, freezing temperatures of a night, altitude sickness (hopefully not) as it is above 3,000m with some days trekking between 8 to 10 hours.   

How I am going to raise the money

- All money I take from offering treatments from my treatment room at home will be going to Air Ambulance.

- On Sunday 29th March I will be waxing 9 hairy men's legs!

- On Friday 8th May I am holding a Pamper Evening at the salon. £10 a ticket which includes a treatment, glass of wine and nibbles. If you would like to attend please contact the salon www.phoenixtherapyrooms.co.uk.

- Quiz night! date to be confirmed.

- Lot's of other little bits. Every penny counts!

Why am I doing it

Essex Air Ambulance is saving lives daily and anyone of us could need it one day. I enjoy a challenge and meeting people and think life is too short to put anything off, if you put your mind to what you want to achieve anything is possible.

What  I have learnt so far

- You need a lot of trekking gear! Boots, trousers, jacket, backpack, walking socks, head torch, sleeping bag, thermal underwear , walking poles, the list goes on....

- After walking all day for the first time you should book the next day off so you can recover! Muscles ached that I never knew I had. Also it would be a bonus if I lived in a bungalow as walking up the stairs was near on impossible.

Update

27th January - I just found out I have to have jabs before I go.

20th February - Me and another therapist raised £66 by offering mini manicure's to the family and staff at Family In Focus.

8th March - While out training today, I found out my boots are NOT waterproof.

10th March - I decided today to raise £5000 instead of the required amount of £3,200. I am now really involved with EAA so my knowlege to how much they need support in keeping the helicopter up in the air made me do this.

23rd March - I raised £80 today by offering mini manicure's and chair massage to the staff at Chelmsford College.
