Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As some of you may know in July of 2008 I moved from sunny South Wales to Tidworth in Hampshire to join the Help for Heroes team as I truly believed in the cause.

I have now come to the conclusion that I should do more than just sit behind my desk and so I have joined the H4H Sahara Desert Challenge in order to raise as much as I can for this very worthy charity.

Help for Heroes was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in October 2007 to give the help and support so greatly needed to our injured Service men and women.  We owe so much to our service personnel as they risk their lives every single day to allow us to enjoy the freedom we have today!!! 

Below is a basic Itinerary of what I will be doing:

DAY 1: Depart London for Ouarzazate; transfer to hotel
DAY 2: Drive to M’hamid and the start of the trek; head off into the dunes
DAY 3: Trekking amongst small dunes and tamarisk trees following the Jebel Bani
DAY 4: A mixture of stony plateau and soft sand with camp overlooking the dunes
DAY 5: A morning of rough hamada; lunch under a lone tree and onto camp
DAY 6: Scale the heights of Chagaga, the largest dune in the region: great views!
DAY 7: Cross the Iriki Saltpan, through acacia trees and shimmering heat
DAY 8: Sunrise walk ends trek, drive to Marrakech for a big celebration
DAY 9: Free day to explore Marrakech
DAY 10: Depart Marrakech for London

I have also, in a moment of madness, decided to take part in the Help for Heroes bike ride 2010!!  Seeing and getting to know all the amazing BOBBR participants was an inspriration and so I am now set on doing this!!!!  At the moment, I have no idea where, when or how far it is - But WILL be doing it no matter what!!! - I have raised my fundraising target and am determined to reach it. Please help me do so, even if you can only spare £1, it all adds up!

SO PLEASE, HELP ME TO HELP OUR HEROES!!!!!
