In September this year I will be taking part in a one week trekking challenge with colleagues from Credit Suisse, summiting the highest mountains in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro. The challenge involves a week of tough hiking at altitude with steep ascents and descents for 10 hours a day, with only very basic facilities along the way. This is a huge mental and physical challenge, so all donations would be greatly appreciated. 

The aim of the challenge is to raise funds and awareness for St Giles Trust, the Credit Suisse charity of the year.  St Giles Trust is a charity which aims to empower young people to stay safe, and make positive choices for their futures. 50,000 children in the UK are exploited by gangs every year, and St Giles Trust do fantastic work to educate children on the dangers of gangs, exploitation and knife crime.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
