Samaria Gorge · 21 May 2012

We are a global Christian organisation leading the fight against leprosy. Following Jesus Christ, we seek to bring about transformation; breaking the chains of leprosy and empowering people to attain healing, dignity and life in all its fullness.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and I hope you feel able to support me.

My aim is to trek the full 18km Samaria Gorge, the longest in Europe, by descending the Xyloskalo Staircase which zig zags 700 feet down into the gorge. 

Part of this trek includes the narrowest section called the 'Iron Gates' where the 1000 feet walls stand just 3 metres apart. Valerie says I must lose weight!

It would be a great personal achievement for me in my 81st year, to complete this challenge and reach my £2000 target.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Many thanks,   Ken    (with sore feet to come!)
