My story

 

Three Peaks Challenge

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Friday 9th October 2009, I will be attempting the Three Peaks Challenge with three friends.  The aim is to climb the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike & Snowdon) over a three day period.  We'll be climbing Ben Nevis on the Friday, Scafell on the Saturday and Snowdon on the Sunday.  I have decided to do this to raise money for a charity called The Friends of Michael Sobell House.

Michael Sobell House is the hospice and specialist palliative care centre based at Mount Vernon Hospital, enhancing without discrimination, the care of patients with life limiting illnesses and providing support for their families and carers. Funding from charitable donations must reach an annual target of £1,200,000 to maintain patient care at its current level from the In-patient unit, Day Therapies Centre, Outreach Team and Education Program. Many services at Michael Sobell House would not exist without Fundraising and Voluntary contributions from individuals, community groups, companies, charitable trusts and legacies. It is thanks to a dedicated team of staff, generous and skilled volunteers and with the boundless energy and enthusiasm of all its supporters that Michael Sobell House can keep ‘Sharing the Caring’.

My connection with this charity is that my Father is the Senior Chaplain at Mount Vernon.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
