Story

<p>On January 22nd, 23rd &amp;&nbsp;24th&nbsp;2011 I&nbsp;was part of a team of EFTC supporters who took on a BIG fund raising challenge.</p> <p>NEWS FLASH...... I did it, it was a one in a lifetime experience.... truly amazing and for such a great cause..x</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;Please click on the video link to see last years supporters...</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;I&nbsp;along with nine others&nbsp;climbed 3 of Guatemala's most extreme&nbsp;volcanoes. Pacaya (2552m) Acatenago (3976m) &amp; Fuego (3763m) in 3 days.</p> <p>The challenge&nbsp;involved trekking by day and camping on the volcanic slopes by night which was both a physical &amp; mental test for us all!</p> <p>The volcanoes surround the town of Antigua in Central America where the&nbsp; EFTC schools are based.</p> <p>I have already spent time&nbsp;at the schools&nbsp;and know first hand that the money I am&nbsp;able to raise will really make a massive difference. It will&nbsp;help to&nbsp;pay for the education, food, healthcare and shelter for many children from backgrounds of extreme poverty.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and supporting me in a life changing&nbsp;challenge and keeping me motivated with my training!!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please give what you can as it WILL MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE and your support is really appreciated.</p> <p>Many thanks Karen x</p>
