My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On behalf of National disability charity Livability, I embarked on a unique challenge in early November, following the 'Footsteps of Moses' at Mount Sinai in Egypt.

The climb itself was a test of real endurance. We took the shortest route but even then it was a three and a half hour solid slog in the sun. Having trodden the well-worn path we were faced with well over 700 steps before we reached the summit. I say ‘steps’ what I really mean is boulders. Coping with these was my ‘Red Sea Moment’. I thought I would never manage it. But I did and along with the others I stood on the summit of Mount Sinai marvelling at the Sunset, feeling both elated and humbled that we were standing where God and Moses met.

On the way down it was a matter of ‘Lead Kindly Light’ as we all held our torches hoping that our footsteps might not slip. They didn’t and we arrived home safely.

Everyone contributed fully to what was a most memorable experience. But there are two special thanks – first of all to Kerry from Livability. She worked and walked her socks off to make sure that all went well and secondly to you for supporting us. You indeed were our driving force. Thank you so much.      

Roger.
