My story

 

Hey guys! Right this is my page to raise money for Willen. As you can see I'm going to Everest on 16th May. We fly into Kathmandu, Nepal and trek from there, through the towns and villages to Everest, we get to around 5500m before coming back.

There's a link here: http://www.charitychallenge.com/expedition_details.jsp?id=780 that gives you all an idea of what I'll be going through. I have chosen to pay for the trek myself through the self funder option. This means that any donations via this site will only go to Willen, not to pay for the trek itself, I know a few of you were asking about that!

I REALLY hope you sponsor me as much as you can, the original £500 target was a minimum, thanks to the AMAZING generosity of Capital Shopfitting Services and the initial huge amounts from Ellie, Jen, Karen & Bex, I'm now aiming for the big £1000. THANK YOU!!

 Willen is a charity very close to my heart as I have had many family & friends involved in it, and they do outstanding work there.

Another HUGE Thank You to Chris Barnes, Simon Croker & Andy Boucher from M&S Milton Keynes for allowing me all this time off to actually go!! Really means a lot guys, THANK YOU!!!!

I'm keeping everyone up to date via Facebook. There's a group on this link: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6350589474 


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Willen Hospice 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.
