Hi Everyone and thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

It sounds a long way off I know - but  in October of 2009 I am heading off to Vietnam (Hoa Binh province) to trek for Acorns Childrens Hospice Trust. I will be trekking for 6 days - the first and last day are short at just about 3 hours walking, but days 2-5 are each going to be 8-9 hours of walking through some of the most lush and untouched scenery in Asia  .

 I have pledged to raise AT LEAST £3000 before I start the trek and to do this I really do need your support.

Acorns Childrens Hospice Trust is my chosen charity simply because I have seen the wonderful work they do across the West Midlands. The difference the support of Acorns can make - not just to the life-limited child but to the family - is something  I hope none of you ever have to experience first hand. Over 1,100 families have benefited from the trust since 1988, sadly, many more need the care that Acorns offers.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Acorns Children's Hospice Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now and please pass on my details to everyone you know!
