Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

In Easter 2010, I am going to try and get from Sheffield to Budapest with only a £15 travel budget, to raise a minimum of £200 for charity. Last year I hitchiked from Sheffield to Croatia, so it can be done (with some bumps along the way) :)

I have 8 days to get to Budapest via a secret half-way point, hitch-hiking and blagging free train rides anywhere I can.

Dionne and I have decided to take it one step further and rough it as much as possible, sleeping anytime and anywhere, so please feel sorry for us, and donate as much as you can, as we wont be in cosy 4star hotels, more likely a bus shelter in the middle of Europe!!

Sympathy donations welcome! :D

I need to raise a minimum of £200 so please dig deep!

This event, now in its 10th year, hopes to raise over £65,000 for charity, 85% of which will go to local causes. Catch 22 works with young offenders in the local area, and FABLE provides support for eplilepsy sufferers from the region - both of these will benefit this year, so please give whatever you can to support us supporting them!

There will be more charities that the trip will be supporting, but these two are the only confirmed ones, so stay tuned for more updates!!

 

I am funding this trip completely by myself, and NONE of the donations will be used towards trip costs

 

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.
