Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. In March 2009 I am going to Peru with the Mental Health Foundation and will be trekking up to Machu Picchu.

I am supporting this charity because of the excellent  work they do in the field of mental health, in particular the efforts they are making to raise the profile and awareness of the illnesses that most people don't want to talk about and reducing the stigma surrounding depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, et al. As most of you know, I have been battling clinical depression for what seems a very long time, over 9 years, and the help and support I have received I would like to pay back and this seems an appropriate way to do it.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mental Health Foundation 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.

Please check out my blog for details of how the fundraising is going and for news of forthcoming events to raise money. www.webjam.com/stevesperutrek.

So please sponsor me now and help me help a cause that is very dear to my heart and just maybe dear to you or a loved one's heart one day!

Thank you very much.
