Story

Well here it is, New Decade, New Challenge!

On the 23rd April 2010 I will be trekking along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, The lost City of the Incas.  These breathtaking ruins are nestled high in the Andes between two peaks.  This is a 10 day challenge, with 7 days of walking between 6 an 8 hours a day.

Having spent the last few years working closely with the Armed Forces, I thought it was about time I got off my backside and did something for them.  Help 4 Heroes is all about providing support to our servicemen wounded in action, supporting and defending us on a daily basis.  The work that our guys and gals are doing around the world is never recognised enough, so this is my way of doing my bit.  Plus, hopefully I'll get fitter in the process!!

Due to my late decision to do this trek, I need to raise the majority of the money by 12th February 2010 (a mere 6 weeks away) so please help me to support this wonderful charity.
