By walking to Everest Base Camp I am hoping to raise funds for Woking Hospice and the British Heart Foundation, two charities which are close to my heart.

My grandma died in the Woking Hospice and it was a fantastic place during her last three weeks. If it hadn't been there I don't know how we would have managed and I'm sure it made a huge difference to her final days.

My other grandma suffered from a major heart attack earlier this year and has found the support of the British Heart Foundation really useful. They provide a large amount of information and handbooks that help explain the condition and how to look after yourself afterwards.

Woking & Sam Beare Hospices - Is self funded and has to raise £4.9m per annum to

keep the hospice doors open which provides care for terminally ill patients and their

families. The hospice provides care for people aged 18 and over who have a life limiting

illness. The money raised for them will help to maintain care nurses working for one year

and aid in recruiting other much needed nurses for the hospice in the local community.

The British Heart Foundation - Every day they save lives, through pioneering research,

providing vital information to help people reduce their own heart health risks,

campaigning for change and supporting and caring for heart patients. The money raised

will go towards child health education to get children living more active lives and the

importance of eating healthy food. Child obesity is on the increase in the UK and has

risen tenfold over the last 10 years. The BHF is committed, as we all should be, in getting

children active and away from tv and computer games and eating real, healthy and

nutritious food not the junk that is being advertised by profit hungry junk food

corporations.

NB.

My fundraising target is a minimum of £5,000 with the first £2,200 (44%) through my JustGiving account going towards expedition participation costs. The remaining £2,700 and above will go to both Woking Hospice and The British Heart Foundation on a 50/50 equal share basis.
