Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I wasn't planning to beg for sponsorship seeing as I'm doing this for me, but (according to my colleagues who are sick of listening to me talk about this trip) if I can raise a few pounds by doing something which isn't going to be easy then apparently I really should! 

I'm setting off for Nepal on the 26th of April to trek for 16 days up to 5,564m to reach Everest Basecamp. (Smallprint: if I get altitude sickness and need to be airlifted to hospital then your donation is still payable I'm afraid)

Despite being spoilt for choice for charities close to my heart I've opted to raise money for CRASH which is a unique, practical charity that assists homelessness and hospice charities with construction related projects, creating places that care for people.

It is their policy to support charities with practical elements of their building projects. They believe this can hugely improve the experience of the construction process for the charities they help, and create better places for people to live and work.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Wish me luck!
