Story

Thank you for visiting our online fundraising page.

Peter and I (Russ) have taken up the challenge for the Meningitis Trust on the Great Wall of China Trek, Beijing Olympics Challenge, 6-14 August 2008.  For the "pleasure" in taking part Peter and I have pledged to raise a minimum of £6500 between us and have joined our fundraising efforts together. 

Whilst in China we will trek along the Great Wall on average for six hours a day for six continuous days with a day or two after to recover!

Monty the Duck (The Meningitis Trust Mascot) and his friends will be going on an adventure of their own. Peter and I have sent them on a round the world trip to spread the good word of the Meningitis Trust and also do a spot of fundraising on our behalf! We have asked Monty and his friends to invite who they meet to send back photos, postcards and comments of their location. You can follow Monty and his friends progress, view our blogs and find full details of the Trek by following the links on our very own website  www.montygoestochina.com

Please, please dig deep and sponsor us online.  This will help support the wonderful work of The Meningitis Trust. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us:  The Meningitis Trust 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 us now!

Many thanks for your support.
