Story

Imagine your life changing overnight. Suddenly, the world you knew is not accessible. You must start from scratch, all over again.This is happening right now.Every day, seven people leave the Armed Forces with life changing injuries. Many struggle, meaning they and their families need specialist help to aid recovery from wounds both visible and hidden. Your donation allows Help for Heroes to continue providing vital support, now and in the future.Thank you for supporting me, Help for Heroes and all those who need them.

When I was looking for my next fundraiser challenge , I wanted to find something that would push me to my limits physically and mentally. Dream Challenges emailed me that very same day and drew my attention to The Everest Base Camp Trek 2020.

I was totally transfixed by the email and knew at once that it was something that I wanted to do. 

I had just watched Ben Fogle make it to the summit of Everest and knew that even to get to Base Camp at 17028 ft was a challenge in itself.

So I decided there and then to sign up. 

I will need to push myself really hard, training for this amazing event but also to focus my mind so that I can do this. 

Along the way I aim to raise over £4200 for Help The Heroes. Debenhams are allowing me to raise money in store and I will be raising money through other means along the way. 

I thank you in advance for your support and any help that you can give me I will be eternally grateful for 😊
