SOO close to my target!!!!

Hey everyone!

First of all, thank you for visiting my page. Secondly, you are all here to sponsor me, so an even bigger thank you! :)

 

So why should you sponsor me?

Well, because in August 2012 I will set out on the massive challenge of climbing all 19,341 ft. to reach the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa!! This 6 day trek will take me to the top of the 4th highest peak in the world!!

As most of you know, I can't go a few hours without checking into Facebook or Twitter, so going 6 days without my laptop or phone will be a massive challenge in itself!!!!

 

Why am I doing this?

I'm not only doing this as a personal challenge, but to raise money for the charity, Meningitis Research Foundation, as well as raising awareness. Everyday, 9 people become ill with the disease meningitis. With 1 in 10 people losing their lives a day from this, it means 1 person everyday dies from this preventable disease...  A further two people will be left with life-altering after effects as severe as brain damage, deafness and multiple amputations.

 

BUT with a donation from you, these number could rapidly improve!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – 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.

 

No matter the amount, please as much as you can afford and support this amazing charity. 

 

Thank you, 

Amanda :) xx
