Trek The Himalayas 2007 · 10 November 2006

The National Autistic Society is here to transform lives, change attitudes and create a society that works for autistic people. There is still so much to do to increase opportunities, reduce social isolation and build a brighter future for autistic people. With your help, we can make it happen.

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.
