Story
Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.
I have recently completed my 6th consecutive annual trek for AKIM-Jerusalem .
Money raised from this year's trek, will help AKIM - Jerusalem to establish a fully- accessible community centre designed to maintain and enhance the quality of life of the charity's many beneficiaries.You can learn more by googling AKIM-Jerusalem.
The 3-day trek was across the Carmel Mountain region near Haifa which is beginning only now to flourish following the devastating forest fire of 2010 .
After a wet winter season the trails on which we hiked for about 8 hours each day, especially the rocks and the mountain stream beds , were challenging and it was certainly no walk in the park.
I am extremely grateful to family members and friends for their encouragement and kind sponsorship in the past and, while I am aware that there must be many calls on their generosity , would really appreciate it if they were able to respond positively once again.
