Story

<p>Hello!&nbsp;</p> <p>For the first time I'm taking on a fundraising challenge for the Simon Community, London's only independent homeless charity. &nbsp;</p> <p>This amazing organisation provides grassroots help for homeless people across the capital and the UK. Among many other things, they provide regular tea and soup runs, a house for long term homeless, winter shelters, and give love and support for so many who have very little.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will trekking for up to 15 hours a day, for 10 days in the Peruvian Andes to reach the ancient Machu Picchu site. It's assigned the 'tough' status by Charity Challenge, and will involve camping and probably a few blisters!</p> <p>I'd be grateful for any donations how ever big or small.</p> <p>MANY THANK YOUS!&nbsp;</p> <p>Shannon&nbsp;</p>
