Story

Chrissy M, Aunty Rose, Joe Maiden and Ali Brownlee.

Four reasons why I want to support Macmillan and to say thank you to them for the support and care they have given my friends and family when they have needed it most. Without them so many I know would have been lost.

I can't bring loved ones back or create a cure but I can raise money to ensure this fantastic charity carries on helping others.

So what are we actually doing?

Well myself and Kim will be trekking for 7 days through the Crocker Range National Park rainforest in Borneo, crossing rivers and staying overnight in native villages and mountain huts. We'll be trekking for up to 8 hours a day, with early starts in the dark. The trek leads us to Kota Kinabalu where we will then begin our ascent of South Asia's highest mountain Mt Kinabalu, a mere 4,095m above sea level. We'll be hiking at altitude (hoping to avoid sickness!), we'll eat, sleep and live with the locals so forget 5* luxury after long, exhausting days both mentally and physically. It's gonna be tough but we're doing it together and know your support will get us through.

A minimum of £3,950 must be raised each, at least 60% will benefit Macmillan Cancer Support, with the balance spent on the costs of the trip. However, 100% of any sum raised over £3,950 each will benefit Macmillan Cancer Support.

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.
