A young person’s background mustn’t determine their future. At Envision, we empower young people from less-advantaged backgrounds to develop essential skills and confidence as they deliver a social action project that makes a positive change in their school or college community.

Story

<div id="story" class="frp-message-body" style="height: auto;"> <p><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal;">Somehow 100kms didn&rsquo;t seem so tough over a gin and ginger<br style="line-height: 17px;" />beer last summer.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Trailwalker is an awesome event - 100kms in 24 hours is not easy.<br /><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal;">Two years ago, I watched on as Danny, Lex and Woody struggled to get past 70kms. This time, I&rsquo;ve teamed up with Bob, Simon and David - the one person from&nbsp;that group that made it&nbsp; and we&rsquo;re all going to finish...somehow.<br /><br /><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal;">To do that, we&rsquo;ve been training hard since January:<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Bob&rsquo;s held lots of barbeques.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Tom has been walking to the tube station every day.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Simon is thinking about having a game of tennis next week.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />And David &hellip; well, he&rsquo;ll be fine as long as there&rsquo;s cricket&nbsp;on the radio.</pre> <pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal;">We might have a little work to do between now and July.</pre> </span>As a group, we've already raised over &pound;1500 for Oxfam (www.justgiving.com/trailcrawlers). However I am also really keen to raise additional money for Envision, the charity set up by my sister Beth, her partner Nick and some other friends from university to make sure that the charity lives on.<br /></pre> </span><br />My goal is to raise &pound;500. Anything you can give will be much appreciated. <br /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Lex and Danny will be acting as support crew &ndash; 24&nbsp;hours of driving, making tea and keeping us sane means it is a bit of a<br style="line-height: 17px;" />marathon session but we&rsquo;re confident they&rsquo;ve got the stamina for it.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Thanks for your support,<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Tom</pre> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
