My story

 
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please think about sponsoring me online.

From the 21st April to 1st May 2007, I will be doing a sponsored Trek to the Himalayas to raise money for the National Autistic Society. The cause is close to my heart as I currently voluntarily befriend an 8 year-old on the Autistic spectrum. I will be trekking to heights of 3500m and will be covering a distance of approx 55km over 5 days.

Any sponsorship would be great - as little/much as people can afford.

Re-cartridge; Art of Cards; Bargain Booze; Victoria Cabs; Poppadoms ;Yan hair salon; Morelli's Barbers shop and Fingerprints delicafe on Queen's Road, Leicester have already been kind enough to offer me support - please thank them by visiting their stores

I'd also like to thank the Leicester Mercury for doing an article on my trek. To read it please visit:

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Autistic Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

The money I raise will go toward much needed causes.

£15 could help pay for a helpline counsellor to send information on autism to support 5 families

£25 would pay the first stages of training a befriender (of which I am one), who can help support families affected by autism

£50 would give 10 people access to the NAS telephone helpline

£100 could help pay for a full diagnosis of a child at our assessment centre


So please sponsor me now! Please give what you can, because every bit helps

Many thanks for your support.
