Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Wednesday 9th September 2009 my team mates at work and I are planning to walk up Ben Nevis (11 miles and 1344 metres which will take around 9 hours) to raise money for BEN - The Motor And Allied Trades Benevolent Fund in the BEN 4 BEN Challenge 2009

For me it's a personal challenge as I haven't done anything like this before and when I get to the top I am planning to have my Cyprus flag raised high and do a little traditional Greek dance to celebrate (my boss thinks it's Stavros Flatley but if you are Greek it's a Varedo).  I don't know how many Greek cypriots have done that but there can't be many and I will gladly add my name to the list.

My teamates thought I would bottle it but we only live once and to say I did it and raised lots of money for people worse off than me and you, is something you can never take away from me.  I am going to climb.  I am already in training (I'm walking to the fridge on my own rather than getting my 6 year old to fetch me a beer, weight training with a tray in each hand and 3 bottles of whiskey on each and even practising my Greek dance though I'm struggling to get into my skirt part of my costume!!!)

So please dig deep as I need £600 or I cannot do the walk.  Below are the details of how to sponsor me so please follow the instructions as every penny counts.

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.

Donate now please please pretty please with sugar on top.

Thanks for your sponsorship and Keep Smiling !!!
