Please sponsor me to achieve my target to raise money for Bolton Hospice, for all the good work and attention my friend Jennifer Anne Whitelaw received when she was there, near the end of her life. Jennifer was an inspiration to me during her life and she gave me a lot of help and encouragement at a very difficult stage in my life. I mentioned to Jennifer that I would like to climb Everest and she said go for it, because life is too precious and too short not to follow one’s dreams. So I will climb Everest up to the Base camp for my friend and myself, knowing it will be very hard for me but Jennifer will give me the strength of spirit to reach my goal.

Querida familia y amigas/os,

   Mi desafío personal de viajar a Himalaya es por una promesa que hice a mi amiga Jennifer antes de su partida. Ella murió en el Hospicio de Bolton, que es un lugar atendido por voluntarios. Todo el dinero que logre reunir será destinado al Hospicio. Por favor ser generosos, cualquier cantidad de dinero sirve, y no tiene que ser sólo libras esterlinas, también vale el euro y los pesos!!  os lo agradezco de corazón. 

Margarita
