Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On May 19 and 20, I will be joining a group of my PRH colleagues in the UK to hike the Welsh 3000s, covering the 14 highest peaks in Wales over two days, in an effort to raise money for a UK charity called The Ministry of Stories. Those of you who know me well will know that this is a bit outside my comfort zone, as I have never really taken on a physical challenge like this! I am sure it will test my endurance as well as my nerve (there are a few scary-looking exposed peaks on this route), but I am looking forward to the experience. I think it will be a great way to get to know some of my UK colleagues better, while also raising money for a worthwhile cause.
The Ministry of Stories focuses on helping children to realize their potential through discovering the joy and craft of stories. The Ministry’s after-school writing clubs help children ages 8-12 to develop their imaginations and to improve their reading and writing skills in a fun, encouraging environment. By championing “the writer in every child,” The Ministry of Stories helps children build confidence and self-respect, while also improving their communication skills.
I would greatly appreciate any donation that you can contribute to this effort. Your contributions will help to motivate me as I climb these mountains (hopefully in good weather), and they will certainly be meaningful to the Ministry of Stories and the children mentored by its programs. Thank you!
