My story

 

Hello and Thanks for visiting our Midland Heart ICT fundraising page. We are taking part in the 2009 3-Peaks Challenge sponsored by Computer Weekly, on behalf of Care International. Our fearless leader John along with Steve, Simon, Lee, Nathan and Tom are aiming to get to the top of the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales respectively.

This in itself is no mean feat but as IT people are often a bit mad, we're going to do it in just 24 hours! Fourteen hours of walking/climbing and ten hours of driving between Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in Cumbria and Snowdon in North Wales and will be a huge challenge physically, logistically and mentally.

Kicking them into shape for this challenge are our Support Crew (Ian and Claire) and our Fundraiser (Rob) as in addition to the daunting challenge of the event itself, we are aiming to raise SIX THOUSAND POUNDS for Care International through sponsored events, corporate sponsors and appealing to the generosity of our suppliers and general public.

John has already started promoting. You can read his interview with Computer Weekly here. We will also post updates on this site throughout our sponsorship campaign so you can see what we have been getting up to.

 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: CARE International UK 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.

Please don't feel like you have to sponsor huge amounts of money any amount will be greatly appreciated as EVERY PENNY COUNTS.  

So please sponsor us now!
