Hi

Last year I agreed to climb Mt Snowdon with a group of friends to raise money for Lyndon House. After starting my training regime a full 2 weeks before the climb I was in no way prepared but the sense of achievement when reaching the summit was undescribable. Although thousands of people do it every year it felt like I had achieved something special; almost unique.

 

Early this year I, like many people, made a little list of things I wanted to achieve - I wanted 2010 to be a year where I have many new experiences, learn new things and see new things. On this list was "To do something big, really big". In April I took out my list and commited myself to achieving all that was on it and within 2 days I had booked myself on a trip to Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro.

 

This will be an experience of a lifetime, it will help me acomplish a number of things on my 'list' but most of all it provides me with a personal challenge that will give me that great sense of achievement I expereinced with family and friends at the top of Mt Snowdon last year!

 

I am funding all costs of this trip myself but to miss the opportunity to raise some money at the same time would be selfish and a waste. Lyndon House offers great support to a fantastic young man that I know as well as his loving family.

 

So I would be grateful if you could donate a few pounds to Lyndon House via this webpage. There will be some of you reading this page who can afford to give more than just a few pounds - you will remain nameless for now but please be generous!

 

As I have said already, the charity is not paying for my trip, so all the money raised will go to Lyndon House.

 

Many thanks

 

Alan
