Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So, I just returned from my hike up Mount Mulanje - and what an experience! The trek was a lot more demanding than expected but with the support from a team of guides and doctors we successfully made it to the west peak summit after almost 20 hours of trekking and rock climbing. The sum of money the team raised is enough to assist over 400 women who will benefit from the Microloan Foundation Charity and help bring them out of poverty. We saw first hand the real difference that the charity is making in communities when visiting some of the beneficiaries in remote villages and listening to stories of how the small amount of £30 had enabled individuals to build a business and the profit they made had a huge impact on their way of living, subsequently bringing them out of ill health, allowing them to eat breakfast every morning and cloth their children - things they’d never previously been able to do before.

There is still time to donate to this great cause. 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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
