My story

At the start of August we (me and 3 11-year old kids) will be climbing Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia in aid of the children victims of the Burma cyclone.

Compared to what the Burmese kids are suffering, our climb to nearly 14,000 feet (starting at 5,000 feet) is nothing, but even so it will be a challenge. Think 'hey, let's get up at 2am and climb Snowdon a third time, and this time in the dark'!!!

Have a read of this if you want to hear an up-to-date account of the plight of the Burmese, but be prepared to be shocked.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Red Cross 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Note, though, that I have a good friend (for who's integrity I can personally vouch) who takes funds to Burma herself and ensures that it is delivered directly to those in most need. If you prefer to give directly to her I would welcome that, click the link: http://www.matt25v40.org/visit1.html
