Sparks raises money to fund pioneering child health research across the UK, helping to find new treatments and cures for children and families who desperately need them.

Story

On 10 June, I will be part of a team of 18, plus four Drivers from the West region attempting to climb the 3 peaks in a bid to raise £10,000 for children’s medical research charity Sparks. 

Those of you who know me, will understand the amount of time and training that I have had to put into the preparation to ensure that I am prepared for the physical challenge. However, it has all been worth while particulary when you consider the money we aim to raise as a team will be going to a great charity.

Now, my blood sweat and tears (and there has been plenty of all), is not enough on it's own to ensure that I succeed as an individual in the challenge. In order to spur me on and get me through the tough times ahead I need your sponsorship. I plan to memorise a little mantra to get me through the times when my legs, lungs and mind want to give in.

That Mantra will go something like this:

"Yea, though I walk up the mountains of death I will keep on going, because my making it I will raise £xxx.xx pounds for a great childrens charity by making it!"

So go on and support me, the team and Sparks children charities today.
