Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in the Inca Trail Trek Challenge in Peru as a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' (RICS) team from 26 March to 4 April 2011 to raise money for various charities. I am raising money for BRAKE, the road-safety charity, as I lost my eldest son George, aged 17, in October 2008, when he was hit by a car crossing a busy road where pedestrian safety left much to be desired.

The Inca Trail Trek will take 4 days to complete and we will be sleeping in the Andes mountains in tents. The trail is only 43 kilometres (27 miles) long, so why will it take 4 days to complete? Answer: because we will climb to 4,200 metres (13,800 feet) and altitude sickness can be a problem.

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.
