Story

<p>Me and two of my friends from college are doing the Welsh 3000s challenge in July to raise money for a charity called Action on Elder Abuse.<br><br>The charity is the only one in the UK working solely to tackle abuse of the elderly. The challenge is to reach the peaks of 15 mountains within 24 hours. All of the peaks are over 3000ft. <br><br>More information on the challenge is located here:<br><a class="postlink" href="http://www.welsh3000s.co.uk/">http://www.welsh3000s.co.uk/</a><br><br>and information on the charity is here:<br><a class="postlink" href="http://www.elderabuse.org.uk/">http://www.elderabuse.org.uk/</a><br><br>You can donate on the JustGiving page and can also donate by texting TIWL69 and the amount you want to donate to 70070<br>e.g. send [TIWL69 &pound;1] to [70070] and this will donate &pound;1 to the charity. <br>This text thing is free in the UK, the donation comes out of your credit on your phone and 100% of the donation goes to the charity.</p> <p><br>Nice one!</p>
