Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Any donation, large or small is very much appreciated !

For anyone who doesn't know us, we had our third child, little Keren, on 7th April 2006, and she was very quickly diagnosed with Trisomy18, or Edwards Syndrome.

She was with us for a precious 8 weeks,4 days, and she spent her last week, together with myself, her Mum, and her brother and sister, at Horizon House, the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice.

It is almost impossible to put into writing, how wonderfully we all were looked after during this time, and since. I could never have imagined the amazing work that goes on here, words really cannot express the gratitude that our family feel, towards the Hospice, and the staff there.

Because, as someone once said "silent gratitude isn't much use", I have decided to raise much needed funds, for the Hospice, by attempting to climb the highest free-standing mountain in the world...Kilimanjaro!

We are going to try, as the weeks and months progress, on the run-up to the Kilimanjaro Challenge, to share some of our experiences, to find out more, please visit our site, KerenOwens.com , and please subscribe to the free email updates, which will keep you informed of new posts.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also an extremely efficient way to sponsor me: Northern Ireland Hospice Care 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....Glenn
