Story

I did it!! Thank you to everyone who has supported me. It was a tough week and my bum was pretty sore at the end but it was worth it! If you're ever thinking of doing something similar, I can't recommend it highly enough....

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
Anyone who knows me would never describe me as athletic but when I saw this challenge advertised, I couldn't resist!

400kms along the Nile will certainly be a challenge but it'll get me fit, help me lose weight and also raise lots of money for a charity that funds research into conditions that affect women and newborn babies - something close to my heart as I myself suffer from a condition called PCOS that makes it difficult to conceive. Although it took nearly 2 years, I was lucky to get pregnant naturally but others aren't so fortunate.

I need to raise at least £2,500 but am paying £1,135 of the money myself to cover costs as I don't believe that it's fair that sponsors should pay for my travel and accommodation. This means that you can be sure that all the money you donate will be going to a very worthwhile cause.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Women for Women Appeal 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. If you'd like to know more about the Women for Women appeal there's some information on the left of this page. If you want to know more about the appeal or what I'll be putting myself through, please e-mail me at kerrydevereux@hotmail.com and I'll send you some information. Please dig deep and give what you can! Also, feel free to tell your friends.... Many thanks for your support. Kerry
