So I've decided to climb the most active volcano in Europe! Stuart has finally caused me to lose my mind! 

The volunteers work hard already and I am happy they have welcomed the mental one to the team - beware of my terrible singing!  Seeing the work the charity does year after year will make it all worthwhile.

Myself and supporters from the Perth & Kinross area, are embarking on our first ever charity trek, to the awesome Mount Etna in Sicily. Leaving on 15 September, we will trek over 35km to the summit of the 3,350m high volcano, returning (we hope!!!) after 5 days.

This is a major and extremely exciting challenge for the team, and our aim is to raise over £20,000 for PKAVS. With your support, I know we can achieve this!!

All funds raised will support PKAVS - an amazing charity that changes lives every single day. PKAVS helps the elderly, adults with mental health or limited mobility, and the many hundred young and adult carers who support them. Every penny raised stays local, helping disadvantaged children and adults living in Perth & Kinross. This is a charity like no other, and needs YOUR support today ...

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 PKAVS and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. It’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please, dig deep - as deep as your pockets will go! - and sponsor me to take on this once-in-a-lifetime challenge. Support me to reach the dizzy hieghts of success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your donation of £10 will buy a PKAVS friendship parcel for an isolated elderly person, letting them know someone is thinking of them this Christmas.

Your donation of £20 will provide a young carer aged 7years with a 1-to-1 support session and an invaluable break from their caring role. Helping a child be a child first and a CARER second.

Your donation of £50 would run a PKAVS electric scooter for a whole year, offering over 250 people their independence. That's 250 lives changed with just the click of a button!

Thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it!
