Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Right, so anyone who knows what Clo and I have let ourselves in for is probably chuckling about what we are going to have to go through here! Apparently the worst of it is the smell of damp feet on the bus ( I don't want to say too much but I reckon Clo may be the main contributor to this, she has funky feet anyway :)) In breif we are climbling Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon all within approximately 24 hours, so a walk of 25 miles with an elevation of about 10,000 feet - please remeber we both live in Cambridge at the moment - where the highest point above sea level is about 11m!

Anyone who knows me, knows I mean well but I'm a slacker, so this is going to be a real challenge - especially as I'm rarely spotted walking and more likely to be on a bike! But as it's for a good cause I am willing to go through some non-bike training and have even got a pair of walking boots, no red socks as yet though.

Clo having just come to Play for a short time has been good enough to get involved in this too, discreetly she's been heading to the gym in preparation since sometime last year - way earlier than most others, I think she's planning to beat us all up and down, mostly just to make us feel old and slow! Still the fact than on her placement year she has taken on such a challenge shouldn't be joked about - she's got to put up with Bryony all the way up for a start :)

So we are likley to be bugging you all throughout the coming months for donations, assuming you have made it to this page we'd like to thank you in advance for whatever you are planning to donate, literally every little helps, and the TCT will be grateful for everything they make from this, so seriously, thankyou.

More on the TCT can be found here: http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/who-we-are/about-us/ but essentially they work for Teenagers suffering from Cancer, something most of us fear going through, let alone when we are just mis-understood and mixed up teenagers!

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.

So please donate now as we still have long way to go.
