Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
Last year I took part in the UK 3-peaks challenge which was a great experience. This year, on a weekend in May I, along with 17 friends, will be on the move for 24 hours, climbing Ireland's three tallest mountains.
You may wonder, why on earth I, again, will be putting myself through the blood, sweat and tears of:
> walking, stumbling, scrambling for 14 hours
> ascending a total of 2,560m
> walking a total of 37.8km
> driving over mountainous roads for 10 hours
I am doing this to raise money for CARE International (and for the fun of the it ofcourse!).
CARE International works in more than 70 countries around the world tackling poverty wherever the need is greatest. Across five continents, CARE's work has an impact on more than 45 million people worldwide. Whether supporting primary health care, promoting sustainable agriculture or developing savings and loan schemes, its programmes promote positive and lasting change and reduce long-term dependency. CARE also provides emergency food and shelter to survivors of natural disasters, wars and conflicts.
You can read more about CARE at http://www.careinternational.org.uk/
Please dig deep and sponsor me online. My employer will be doubling the money I raise, so anything you can donate will go a long way.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: CARE International UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me!
Many thanks for your support :o)
