Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may know I am going to walk the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt from the 1st - 12th September this year.  I have fully paid for the trip and up until this week was just going to do the trek as I have done others for the past 10 years.

However as you may also know, for the past 9 years I have been Chair of Trustees of DrugFAM, a  charity dedicated to supporting individuals affected by another's addiction to drugs or alcohol.  In the past few weeks a number of you have suggested that, as the trek is very challenging, I should try and seek sponsorship for a charity.  According to the details of the trek 'there are some taxing stages and a few delicate  exposed sections that might give an understandable twinge of concern'. Help!!! I ask myself why am I doing this?  Well I am and at my last Trustees meeting it was agreed that it would be a fitting parting act to raise money for DrugFAM by seeking sponsorship for this particular trek, which is anything but a walk in the park.
