Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page and showing your support. I will be heading out to the Amazon Jungle, testing myself against the elements for 5 nights, all to raise funds for The Lewis Moody Foundation. Whether raising funds to enable research into brain tumours, promoting early diagnosis by generating awareness of the symptoms, or building a supportive community of those affected, everything we do is with one aim in mind - changing the story around brain tumours. 

I will be heading into the Amazon Jungle for a test of my extreme survival abilities, testing myself against the Amazon elements for 5 nights to raise funds for The Lewis Moody Foundation. 

The Amazon Survivor challenge is graded as “Tough” due to the remoteness of the locations and the extremely basic facilities encountered. Obviously this is totally out of my comfort zone and this is why;

We will be:

·  Trekking and canoeing in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest with high temperatures and

humidity

·  Setting up your own hammocks and shelters for sleeping in the middle of the Amazon

Jungle

·  Facing extremely basic facilities, no showers, and no proper toilets for five days

·  Implementing newly learnt survival skills in the jungle

·  Fishing for your own meals

With temperatures over 25 degrees Celsius and 95% humidity,
looking after yourself and your kit will be essential to survival. During the challenge we will discover more about this remarkable environment, gain new skills and experience how physically and psychologically challenging the rainforest can be. With a mixture of trekking many kilometres of dense jungle and canoeing the Amazon river, each day will take us on a steep learning curve.

Any donation to this amazing charity would be hugely appreciated, thank you!
