Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On 10th November I will be heading off to Nepal to trek up to Everest Base Camp.

Nepal is a country in a league of its own with breathtakingly beautiful scenery, a facinating culture and friendly people. Meeting the villagers while trekking through this landlocked gem of a nation is one of its greatest pleasures.

The route takes us via the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar through beautiful valleys, dense forest and across glacial rivers before we reach the renowned viewpoint of Kalapatar, on the approach to Everest Base Camp, and see the highest mountain on the planet. We will reach a height of 5,600 metres or 18,370 feet.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Children's Society 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.

Note that I have paid for the entire trip out of my own pocket. Therefore, any donations you make via Just Giving will go directly to the charity.

Please sponsor me now.

Many thanks for your support.
