Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>This year it's my 47th birthday (yes, I know I don't look a day over 25!) so I've set myself a serious challenge centred around the number 47.</p> <p>Firstly, I aim to lose 47lbs (21 kilos for the youngsters out there).</p> <p>The diet has already started and will continue until the second step of the challenge.</p> <p>Secondly, I will be walking from home (Rhuallt) to the summit of Snowdon along a route of 47 miles, with the aim of completing this in 47 hours.</p> <p>The walk will take place over the weekend&nbsp;of Friday 8th to Sunday 10th April.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
