India Himalayas Challenge 2008 · 20 August 2008 ·

VSO is an international development organisation that brings people together to share skills, build capabilities, and change lives to make the world a fairer place for all. Everyday, VSO volunteers are working to empower people living in some of the world’s most marginalised communities.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and I hope you will consider sponsoring me online.

As many of you know, I have undertaken to take part in a Himalyan trek  this August . We shall be climbing up to 4,000 metres and trekking from between 5-12 hours a day.  This is a huge challenge for me as I make a fuss about climbing hills, let alone mountains!  But it is a hugely worthwhile cause and will be a fantastic experience as we shall be trekking through really remote regions in the Ladakh region of India, known as 'Little Tibet.'  We shall be spending the night in tents and experiencing both freezing cold weather and sweltering temperatures. Can't wait!!

 I am paying in full for the cost of the trip so all money raised on this page will go to fighting poverty all over the world by helping communities help themselves. We shall visit a VSO project which is making a difference to disabled children living in the slums of Delhi.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Voluntary Service Overseas 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
