Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I chose this charity and this particular walk for 2 reasons:

 

1) In May of this year one of my friends suffered the loss of her father. 2 weeks later another of my friends suffered the loss of her mother. Her mother lived on Holy Island for many years and I felt this walk to be a fitting tribute to both parents. They gave me two of my dearest friends.

 

2) Non of us knows who may have the misfortune to develop Alzheimers. But we do know the impact it can have on the individual and their family and friends. If my walk inspires any of you to donate even the smallest amount then all my efforts will be worthwhile.

 

Bonus Sweepstake - chance to win one weeks accommodation in Spain for 4 people!

 If you are able to make a donation, I would like to invite you to 'guesstimate' how long it will take me to walk the 26 miles. Email me at hippip52@yahoo.co.uk  (use heading - Sweepstake) with your 'guesstimate' and I will keep all emails unopened until after the walk.

The winner and 3 other people can stay at our apartment in Spain for one week between November 2011 and May 2012. For more information about the apartment and location please click on: http://costablanca-penthouse.co.uk

 

 Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

I will keep this page updated regularly with my training highs and lows if you are interested. I have kept my fundraising target low. Please feel free to smash it! I will be topping it up myself at the end to make a goodly round figure.

 

Thank you
