<p><strong>WE DID IT!!!&nbsp; On 30th October 2011 17 of the team of 20 reached Everest Base Camp around 4pm in the afternoon.&nbsp; We were thrilled to get there after a gruelling few days hiking!!&nbsp; A BIG THANKS to everyone who donated... the team total now stands at &pound;50,000 - truly amazing.</strong></p> <p><strong></strong>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>A team of 20 people from the Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle Belfast will be trekking to Everest Base Camp in October 2011. This is a sponsored event with donations going to the Tabernacle's Childrens' Hospice in Nyeri, Kenya. The money raised will also be used to make a donation to the Northern Ireland Childrens' Hospice.</p> <p>I would be extremely grateful for any donations no matter how small!</p> <p>Please note that I will be paying all of my own expenses and 100% of the money raised will go to these very worthy causes.</p> <p><em>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
