Story
Hello and thank you for visiting my SCOPE SKI CHALLENGE page!
This site offers a really quick and secure means to sponsor me - and if you are a UK Taxpayer, you can "Gift Aid" your sponsorship, which will add an extra 28.2% to the amount SCOPE receives - at NO extra cost to you!
What did I get up to this time? On 25 January, I flew out to Colorado to ski with a group of 40 or so other, like-minded (?mad?) skiers, to raise £'s for SCOPE. My target remains to raise £5,250 - which is enough to fund SCOPE's Cerebral Palsy Helpline for a week.
It was an EXCELLENT week, with the challenge of skiing down at least 150,000 vertical feet over just six days. That's > 5 x Everest descents! It was a very tough challenge physically and I'm delighted to tell you that everyone managed to complete the challenge.. with a few aches / bruises etc thrown in, for good measure!
Thomsons very kindly provided my flights to and from Denver (thanks again, Marion!) - and I paid for my own accommodation.... so ALL the £'s that are collected on this site will go to SCOPE and will NOTsubsidize my trip in any way.
So -please - exercise that piece of plastic and dig deep, to support SCOPE. As you can see, I've already gone through the £4,500 level...so please help me top that target!
Thanks very much!
