Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

So what can I say here that will help you find your visa-card?
I have been through some swings and roundabouts, and I feel this is right up my street!

I'm going to Costa Rica and Nicaragua for 10 weeks in July to volunteer with Raleigh International. I have left it quite late to join up for this: I have just until the beginning of June to pay!

As well as a three week-trek(!), I will be doing some of the following:

Living in the proverbial sticks, proper third world stuff with no amenities!
Building: either a school, hospital, bridge or water treatment centre. Most probably working on a forest trail.

Most likely getting bitten by lots of bugs, certainly getting fit and hopefully changing mine, and perhaps even other peoples lives!!!

Do look at the raleigh website for more information www.raleigh.org.uk

Around 20% of the group are disadvantaged young people, and Raleigh looks to try and help them reach their full potential. It is a really worthy cause!

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

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
