Atlas Mountains Summit Trek · 28 November 2008

Shine provides specialist support from before birth and throughout the life of anyone living with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus, as well as to parents, families, carers and professional care staff. Our wonderful supporters make our work possible, your fundraising makes all the difference!

Story

In May, I am trekking to the summit of Mount Toubkal in the Atlas Mountain range to raise money for ASBAH, the Association For Spina Bifida And Hydrocephalus. My 23 year-old cousin was recently diagnosed with hydrocephalus, and has had to undergo 4 operations in the past 2 months to place a shunt in his brain to correct the condition. By raising money for this charity, further research can be conducted to prevent sufferers from having to have multiple life-threatening operations, as well as help them manage with the condition that most definitely may change their life forever.

I'm trying to do my part to help, and I would be most grateful to receive ANY donation you can make! Thank you so much for all of your support.



Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Association For Spina Bifida And Hydrocephalus 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.
