Costa Rica Coast to Coast Challenge for The Prince's Trust · 17 March 2007 ·

The King’s Trust supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to get their lives on track. Many of the young people we support are in or leaving care, have been in trouble with the law, or they are facing challenges such as homelessness or mental health issues.

Only a few days to go now before i´m back...A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US SO FAR!!!! (and if you haven't already...what are you waiting for???)

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Prince's Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
