STOP PRESS - I finished the Trek!!! You can still help and win the champagne right up to 30th June 2007.

A Worthy Cause and a Chance to win a Magnum. Please help me because....

from the 6th June I left the UK for five days of trekking 20 miles a day across Romania ending close to Moldova in order to raise money for Sense International.

Sense International works exclusively to meet the needs of people who are both deaf and blind in Romania, Latin America, East Africa and India. Why not help people closer to home I hear some of you cry? Well, firstly think about the support networks that already exist here in Britain. Deafblind people in developing countries are among the most isolated of all disabled people in the world. Sense International exists to enable them to exercise their right to be full and active members of society. Secondly your donation can go so much further in the areas that Sense International are reaching out to. For instance:-

£25 can teach East African parents to communicate with their deafblind children
£50 can teach living skills to deafblind young adults in rural communities in India
£100 can provide vocational training for deafblind young adults in Latin America
£1000 can pay for specialist training for teachers of deafblind children in Romania

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

Not only that in association with Corney and Barrow and Veuve Cliquot, all the donations entered on my site will join those entered into the trek draw for one of two magnums of champagne. Make sure you tick the box to be kept informed, as the draw will take place on 30th June 2007.

On behalf of Sense International and myself, thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I need your support and I need it soon so please help and donate all you can.

Many many thanks for your support.
