Ok, so I thought I was crazy trekking the Great Wall of China last year. Evidently not crazy enough as I have now signed up to subject my body to more exercise, pain and over all discomfort! Oh, and did I mention I will be camping out in a tent for three nights....Ok for most, an additional challenge for me!

This is a demanding four-day trek on steep trails winding our way up to heights of 4200m in fantastic and diverse mountainous country.

I will be raising money for Deutsche Bank's charities of the year which are:

Help a Capital Child

 

Help a Capital Child believes that every child should have a childhood they truly deserve. We do this by funding approximately 400 projects each year that give disadvantaged children in our communities support and opportunity so they can hope for a much brighter future.

 

This could mean a respite break for young carers, a mentor for a child who does not have a positive role model in their life, a sports programme for children with disabilities or a bereavement service for a child who has lost a sibling or parent 

 

Meningitis Research Foundation

 

Meningitis and septicaemia are deadly diseases that can kill in hours. Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF) funds vital medical research that focuses on the prevention of meningitis and its associated infections, as well as detection and treatment to improve survival rates and outcomes.

In addition, MRF promotes education and awareness to reduce death and disability from meningitis and septicaemia and gives support to families affected. Meningitis Research Foundation's vision is a world free from meningitis and septicaemia.

 

Your donations and support are greatly appreciated.... I promise I won't use the money for a spa treatment at the end of it! :-)
