Hi everyone, 

As some of you may know I am currently on placement at Co-op under the Delicious Food Team and want to get stuck into 'summit' amazing! So, I thought why not set the bar high and climb Mount Toubkal, Morocco's highest mountain along with some great colleagues at Co-op.

We will be trekking 4,167 metres to summit of Mount Toubkal over three days to raise money in partnership with Barnardo's. Mount Toubkal is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains so it will be a fantastic challenge for us all.

It has always been on my bucket list for me to tackle a mountain as big as this, so it will be a major personal achievement but mainly to push myself to raise money for such a vital charity. 

Please support our efforts through donations and it will be extremely appreciated. 

Barnardo's support and protect children and young people facing a wide range of issues, from drug misuse to disability, from sexual abuse to domestic violence. At Co-op we believe children affected by these issues deserve better, and we have teamed up with Barnardo's to connect communities together in supporting young people. Across Co-op, colleagues are walking, running, cycling and climbing to raise £5m over the next two and a half years to support 750,000 young people to access basic needs such as food, mental wellbeing support and provide opportunities to benefit their future. Help Co-op today to transform the precious lives of the UK's most vulnerable young people, together we can help thousands of families build a better future. Your donation will make a huge difference to young people's lives. 

Thank you.

**I am currently fundraising for Barnardo's by taking part in the Mount Toubkal Trek 2024. As part of my fundraising, Barnardo's are paying trip costs of £750. This amount is equal to no more than 50% of my fundraising target, and if for any reason I do not hit my target, I will be covering the remaining with my own funds. Any fundraising raised over the target will be donated directly to Barnardo's. As I have joined the team late, I only have until February 2024 to raise my target so please get donating!**
