My story

 

Back home safe and sound, having had the most amazing adventure.  Not only did I make it to Machu Picchu (which was even more stunning than I had expected), but saw so many other beautiful things, faces and places along the way ... and all in the company of the best group of people and guides I could ever have wished for!

Tough walking and freezing nights (thanks to being ripped off with my sleeping bag purchase) didn't stop the experience from being heart-stopping - in every sense of the word! 

Thank you again to everyone for your amazingly generous sponsorship and support.

If you haven't already done so, donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Helen & Douglas House gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

This is really impressive. What is your next challenge ? After climbing high, diving deep ? Keep me in the loop ! Donation by Stephane Delacote 13/11/09
