Spinal Research - Kilimanjaro Trek · 10 January 2009

Every two hours, someone in the UK will become paralysed. Globally, it is estimated that 15.4 million people are living with paralysis. At Spinal Research our vision is to create a world where paralysis can be cured, no matter when the injury occurred or where in the world.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Spinal Research 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. 

Spinal Research is dedicated to funding research into repairing damaged spinal cords and restoring feeling and movement to those paralysed by spinal cord injury.  Pioneering projects funded by the charity are making incredible progress.  However with no direct government funding, it is only thanks to support from people like you that they can continue supporting this work.

I hope that one day, through the groundbreaking work of Spinal Research, that Stewart my 21 year old son will regain the use of his legs again after being paralysed in a motorbike accident on 9/11/06.  I should be one day away from reaching the top of Kilimanjaro on his 22nd birthday - 26/8/09.

So please sponsor me now and I will endeavour to keep you up to date with details of my trek for this very worthwhile charity!  I can hardly belive that I'm finally heading for the summit of Kilimanjaro, it's been my goal/dream since 1998 when, after breaking my back in a horrifc car accident, my physiotherapist decided I needed to set myself a goal to focus on and start walking again.

I've held a 'Mama Mia' night a couple of 'Swap Shops' and 'Ladies Afternoons Teas', but would welcome any ideas for other events which could be organised in Callander or further afield.

My Blog is now up and running albeit a bit slow as I'm still learning so bear with me please?  You can only Post a comment if you yourself have a blog - I didn't know that before and am looking into making it easier for you to comment.  Blog address is lynneskilimanjarotrek.blogspot.com

In the middle of July I'm walking the full length of the Speyside Way with friends.  Also had lots of offers to accompnay me up Ben Ledi and Ben Guillipen.  Both on my door step!!
