Hi,

My name is Louise Towler. I am 27 years old and always up for a new challenge.  I am about to undertake the BIGGEST challenge of my life so far!!

I am aiming to raise ONE MILLION POUNDS for the Alzheimer's Society by taking part in the Inca Trail Challenge.  I Believe this is achievable, and with your support there is no end to the possibilities!!!!!

The trail begins on the 8th May 2010 and finishes on the 17th May 2010.

In training for this event, I am climbing mountains in Wales, doing the 3 Peak Challenge (Outward Bound Trust), running the Bristol Half Marathon (Above and Beyond Charities Bristol), and much more!

MY PLAN:

::I am writting letters to Terry Pratchet asking for his time and asking for a minimum £1 donation to have books signed by him (not confirmed, but watch this space!)

::I am doing a forfeit at work, silence for a day seems to be winning!!

::I am holding a bingo night

::Having cake sales - Thank you Becky!!

::And everything else I can think off ---- suggestions are wellcome 

 E-mail me   ---   lou_m_t@yahoo.co.uk

 

Thank you to all who have shown your support so far!

Please dig deep, I appreciate and am very greatful for all your lovely donations!!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alzheimer's Society gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
