In August I'm following in Dad's footsteps and climbing to base camp Everest to raise money for SPARKS. Sparks is a unique childrens charity dedicated to funding research into conditions affecting children. Since 1991, Sparks has committed over £19.5m to fund research into conditions such as childhood cancer and Cerebral Palsy.

Donating through JustGiving is really easy. Your details are safe – 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. Every little helps, so anything at all you can give is hugely appreciated...thank you!!
